You read the title, that's what I get whenever I try and run Jedi Knight 2. Can someone explain what this means or how I can fix it. Below is the complete message....

So what can I do?

Either your card is not openGL compatible or you need newer drivers.

[Zerosky777]

i also have the same problem as yours.its the exact same thing:( i dont know why the game just cant play.maybe the producers should produce a patch that solves the open Gl problem dont u think so?

[NJX_Hatchet]

the "opengl" problem you suggest a patch for is basically a " download latest drivers" or a "buy a new video card" fix... can't blame the developers for a problem with YOUR computer

[nizmo]

know what would be funny? if your opengl cheat from another game was the problem
