Did you have installed the latest Detonator drivers?
I think you're using the XP drivers, which aren't capable of Opengl. 😀
Just install from www.nvidia.com the latest drivers and off you go!

yeah that sounds like you are trying to run the game with the default XP drivers, you should obtain a newer set of drivers from http://www.nvidia.com , I also believe that the 23.12 drivers can now be found on windowsupdate (not sure if this is only the corporate version or not tho 😛 )

Naturally I am going on peoples previous assumptions that you have an NVIDIA graphics card, can you give a few more details, for example if you an Ati card you will have to visit http://www.ati.com
