    games not playing???

    hi, I recently reinstalled my system and now whenever I open a game, it will not open. It will have the little splash screen for one or two seconds, but then just quit without any error messages. Could anyone help me out here? thanks.

    that seems like youve not installed all your drivers properly ive had a similar thing with trying to run some win 95 games under winxp they just wouldnt run dunno if that might be relevant?

    i think it has to do with my openGL driver not being installed properly, when I open the ati catylist control center and try to change one of the settings where it has the little car driving to show the graphics, it says "The currently used OpenGL driver does not support the required extensions to run the 3D preview"
    if it is the driver, where would i go to install it?

    Generally, you should uninstall drivers before installing newer ones. So go into the control panel, add/remove software, and uninstall the ATI drivers/catalyst control software, and then start from scratch.
