^This is the M$ OpenGL driver which doesn't support Hardware 3D Acceleration.
Install the videocard manufacturer's driver. If it is installed you should find out why it doesn't provide OpenGL for you.

That's a different problem. Not for this topic.

I am having the exact same problem.

I am using an ATI Radeon 9550, on XP. I am using an ASUS widescreen monitor, and so I am using their latest drivers for my card.

if it's the "same" problem you still don't have proper drivers installed - if it's equal or similar to the above mentioned problem, then please repost the log

Was that his problem, that he didn't have the latest drivers installed? Because it seems like he was using the latest drivers. I am sure I have the latest drivers installed too, though, looking online it seems like some other people are having problems with Radeon cards with the latest drivers still reporting inaccurate OpenGL support. I don't have the log here, but I remember it was just about character for character the same. Still, I'll post my log when I get the chance.
