Cannot open OpenGL subsystem

this ONLY happens when i start SH, with BT and AA it's fine, but SH it comes up with this error. a friend of mine has it with AA and has not been able to fix it. i don't want to screw around with drivers unless it's going to work for sure, because they're pretty touchy things...

Hmm if SH comes with a configure.exe then maybe try that... or copy over the rendering cvars ('r_') from your mohaa config file to your SH config file.

didn't have a configure thing, i tried reconfigging with safe mode, still not good.

tried overwriting no good, i guess i'll have to reinstall :'(

Decrease the Rez in the .cfg - I have resently transitioned betwixt a large rez monitor to a small rez one, and MoH wouldn't run until I changed the Rez value, and it gave that error.

I think it might have something to do with your graphics card drivers. try getting the latest ones, might help.

Ruby is right,its the drivers for the graphics card.XP used to have a fix for it.

Green and Jack are right. Might be drivers. Don't forget, whenever you install drivers, reinstall directX so it is configured for the new drivers. Most people overlook that and only reinstall drivers and get troubles back again later.
