Open GL subsystem error with Windows XP.

[Tetra]

I just recently upgraded from Windows 98 to Windows XP.

 

While playing in 98 I had no problems at all, but upon installing XP I now recieve Open GL errors.

 

Is there anything I can do ?

 

Here is a Copy of the error:

WinXP comes with a driver database which excludes OpenGL support.

so chances are, your video card drivers (the ones that came with the OS) will not run this game.

 

you need new drivers.
