Re: GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem ??????

Did you update drivers for you videocards recently? OpenGL32.dll is Microsoft SOFTWARE emulation of OpenGL without hardware acceleration. Meaning it will only use your CPU to render OpenGL graphics. Meaning it will be VERY slow.

What's videocard you have installed and what version of drivers you have? Reinstalling or updating driver might help.

Hmm, this sounds like .exe corruption. Try to get the point updates off the ID FTP and get correct executables from there.

Again - what's your videocard and which drivers did you install? may be you should roll them back.
