Unable to load Open GL subsystem for Return to Castle Wolfen

This is a discussion about Unable to load Open GL subsystem for Return to Castle Wolfen in the Windows Games category; When I start Return to Castle Wolfenstein, the screen starts and then returns to a message screen that reads unable to load Open GL subsystem. I'm running XP pro and Voodoo 5. Any suggestions on what I need to download would be appreciated.

Try using the latest Detonator driver, This happened to me when I first tried this game, But a detonator driver sorted it...

Try the 27.42 beta Dets - Which works ok with Wolfenstein
http://www.tweakersasylum.com/nvdrivers/Series20/20xx/00000020.htm

Although it hasn't sorted out my problem with Battle of Naboo...
Tried most ideas and drivers with that game but it still insists to jerk, But runs fine in Win98SE, Anybody else out there with this game got it working 100% in XP or 2000 ??????

Ooh lordy I feel the wrath of 3DFX users pointing the finger at me and saying You foolish boy...
Yes I messed up ! Soz FleetWood77 I did not see you had a Voodoo 5 card when I mentioned Detonator Drivers....oops !
I did have my brightness down on my monitor at the time (ok yes lame excuse..lol )

But I hope this makes up for my foolish mistake,
