Help, multiple errors!

[johngamer]

I just bought the game Jedi Knight 2, but cannot get it to play...

 

I'll tell you about the errors first, then my system specs.

 

The first error happens when I first try to load the game, and I'm wondering if it ties in to my second error.

 

After I click the "single (or multi) player game" button, I get a pop up error than says the following:

 

"Low Desktop Color Depth

 

It is highly unlikely that a correct windowed display can be initialized with the current desktop display depth. Select 'ok' to try anyway. Select 'cancel' to try full screen mode."

 

No matter which choice I select, the "log box (or whatever you call it)" pops up with the infamous

 

GLW_Start Open GL ()- could not load OpenGL subsytem.

 

Here is the entire log (sorry it is so long, but I have to post it):

GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem

 

I have looked at many faqs pertaining to this subject, and read many posts, but nothing seems to work.

 

I exceed the minimum requirements, and have passed all of the Direct X diagnostic tests... Here are my sytem specs:

 

RAM= 127 MB

OS= Windows ME

CPU= 797 MH

Direct X= 8.1

Display Adapter= Primary Display Driver

Hard Drive Space= 10366 MB

 

My driver device is:

 

Intel® 82810E Graphics Controller

 

It had ~5.5 MB of memory, and the display mode is 800x600(24 bit)(optimal refresh rate)

 

Here is my driver information:

 

Main Driver: i81xdw9x.drv

Version: 4.12.01.2570

Signed: yes

Mini VDD: i81x.vxd

VDD: *vdd,*vflatd

 

All of my direct x features are enabled.

 

I thought that my driver was updated when I did the "Windows Update Online" thing, but I'm thinking that the first five letters of my driver version may be the date it was "issued." I really know nothing about this all though...

 

I just know that my system far exceeds the minimum requirements, yet I can't play the game...

 

I have tried finding updated drivers at intel's homepage too, but that was to no avail...

 

Any help, however small, would be appreciated...

 

If anyone can find a link to Intel's latest driver download, then I'd appreciate that too.

 

PS: I looked at microsoft's homepage under the game problems section, and it said that Intel's 82810 driver has had no problems running the game.

 

Mine does...

What is your desktop color depth set to?
