my parents upgraded to XP finally but now SOF2 MP Test Demo dont work becoz of Opengll subsystem problem.

it worked before XP

and i had this happen to my room comp as well but I have NVIDIA GeForce 2 or sumthin and it was easy to find the right driver.

lol. k man

how many warnings?

[Goody.]

probably best not to ask how many warnings. just be more careful in the future.
now to your problem, first go to your device manager and select your graphics card. then uninstal the driver from the properies menu there. then restart. it may find the old driver upon restarting. but if you deleted the nvidia folder on your c drive you should be ok. now install the new driver.
it should work now.

Why on earth are you pursuing this cause? You been advised in more than one thread to buy the game. The last msn covo we had you said you would buy the game?

Please heed the warning above

[death_comes_ripping]

no its about gettin the game to work at all on my comp dosen't matter wat version it is (i will buy it when i find it in South Australia were i live i can't buy online as im 16 years old)

ill try wat u said goody i think the problem may also be the graphics card (NVIDIA Vanta/Vanta NT) i don't think there is a driver 4 it

[Goody.]

if there is not a new one on the drivers page on nvidia.com then look on this page for one.

AFAIK, all nvidia cards use the same drivers. Try Omega drivers, they're better.

[death_comes_ripping]

do the Omega drivers work 4 NVIDIA cards?

I had a look goody how do u tell which one will suit a NVIDIA Vanta/Vanta NT? they just look like the different updates for each driver


91.31_winxp2kmce_international_whql.exe thats the one i downloaded which said it would work 4 Vanta off of NVIDIA.com but it said in the installation that it couldn't find the device 4 the driver but it doesn;t let u choose either it just exits

oh and wats the re power and the little bar and y does it say "I don;t spend enough time here" -> above my messages
