Open GL

my second coputer cant open OPEN GL thus i cant play games i have it installed but computer fails to open what do i do

I believe Open GL is a driver update problem.

if your talking about jka
its a result of you not running the game as admin

it why i installed jka to a place outside of program files in my documents

OpenGL is a rendering method similar to DirectX, mostly used in older games e.g JKA, Quake 3 etc. Aard is right, it's either some driver problem, or you must have got some über old video card which doesn't support OpenGL. Try reinstalling the game and updating your VGA drivers.

Actually in Vista or Windows 7, to run OpenGL you gotta run the program as an Admin. What i had to do was run the program in Compatibility Mode for XP. But you might need to also run it as an admin if you have the UAC on.

Go to the program's folder, GameData, right click on JAMP.EXE then click Properties, click on the Compatibility tab. Check the box for Compatibility, on the drop down menu select XP SP2 or 3 your choice. I set disable desktop composition (can't remember why), then at the bottom check the box to run as an Administrator.

Hope this helps

I tried that on my Vista once but it didn't make a difference. If it doesn't do anything for you either, the best thing to do is to run AutoPlay whenever you want to play. However, you can only use the AutoPlay which appears when the game is mounted up again (for DAEMON users it is re-mounting, for CD users it would be just opening your drive then closing it again. This always works for me, so give it a whirl. So do this:

1. Unmount/open drive
2. Mount/close drive
3. When AutoPlay shows up, click "run program" (this runs it as admin)
4. Then you'll get the launcher and hit multiplayer of course

Am not running as admin and i have no issues except when i use UU. Otherwise its perfectó. Try reinstalling drivers ,i've had this problem but when i installed newest drivers the problem was gone

unfortunantly it is XP bean so i gotta do what aard and beholak said

ard have right, what graphic card u use in second computer?

I dont believe her PC is 10 years old
Integrated graphic card can be the problem

No, if the card wasn't up to specs it would tell her that. She's missing drivers if it's XP, so she needs to see which she has. To do this: Stat -- Control Panel -- System -- Hardware -- Device Manager. You should be able to find it after this by navigating the little menu.
