Hi guys,
I'll start of by saying that i dint want to post this because i was hoping i could some how get the game running - but right now i used all the curse words i know and monitor will be flying out of my window pretty soon! I can not get the game running!! The computer was updated with windows XP recently (before it had win2k and everything worked fine) I installed the game, installed the DX 9.0C. The game starts as normal - with the menu single or multiplayer i pick multi.. the monitor goes blank and in about 5 sec i turns on again with an error message. It says "GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem"

Maybe someone here has an idea wtf is wrong with my shitty PC! I wouldn't be bothering but where talking about not being able to play JA at all.. and u have to understand that.

Here how the hole console looks when i try tu start the game.:

Yeah that's the driver issue for the video card. I had that error when getting jk2 originally. Update your driver and everything should run fine

The GL message is your video card. And you should probably also download the driver that belongs to your videocard (and the updated windows), like you updated your windows version.

So, what vid card do you have?

GEForce or TNT: Go to NVidia and download the driver belonging to your vidcard and windows version

ATI: ATI

Intel video card: Intel

MATROX: MATROX

SIS: SIS

Voodoo 3Dfx: Voodoo


P.S if you don't know what Video card you have, you can find that here:
- Configuration screen
- Printers and Hardware
- System ( left colom)
- hardware (it's a tab)
- Device management

And there it is.
Hope it's useful! Good luck :)
