OpenGL Support Question...
Ok.
I've currently got an ATI Rage Pro Turbo AGP 2X video chip.
The problem? When I upgraded to XP the driver for the chip didn't support OpenGL. Way back when, when Return to castle wolfenstein (my favorite game) was like 60 bucks, I just had to own it! Every time I try to start it in Xp, it gives me an error that says "Could not load opengl subsystem". After weeks of research, i've finally found out that I HAVE TO HAVE A CARD WITH OPENGL SUPPORT . So now it's either buy a video card with opengl support, or downgrade to 98.
I chose buy a video card. I want this one... http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?product_code=289966
It says that it has OpenGL support, but will it work with my game?
Also, how do I go about disabling video chip?
Thanks

Emailed just about all of the makers of the game, checked with ati, etc.
Finally found this something like this from ati: "Currently we do not have a driver for that chip that supports OpenGL. We are not in the process of making one, and do not intend to make one."
I want that card. I have 8mb, and it's pretty darn good, course I've never experienced nothing higher than 8mb, but that's an affordable card, and they've even got it in stock at my local Compusa! (Yay!
