GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem

...And when I try to update my drivers... I get this:

INF Error, Video driver not found. Setup was not able to complete the installation. Try to setup your display adapter with a standard VGA adapter before running setup.
...Help?

I get the same problem when trying to load jk2 under vista ?? GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem

Damn me too, anyone figured out if there is anything that can be done? I thought I'd break out Jedi Academy for another run but Vista seems to be dropping the hammer =0

I have the same issue. I have all of the latest ATI drivers installed and it still wont work

It's a driver issue most likely. My PC can play Quake 4 and similar OpenGL apps fine. Unfortunately, unlike Direct3D (uhh, wonder why) OpenGL isn't supported out-of-the-box.

I have the drivers that just recently came out from ATI.
What I don't understand is how a game that ran excellent with XP won't even work under vista. My computer IS FULLY CAPABLE to play JKA, but it seems to me that vista has dropped support for certain games/OpenGL. I know my computer can handle the game, but is there any way to make vista realize this?
Every thing I have tried has failed so I think it is up to Microsoft to figure this OpenGL thing out

Yeah I head the samething. the opengl error but!! I update my nvidia card and now it does work. Only afer 5 min the game crashes. And dont try to patch anything, like Jk 1.01 or ja+ cause then you get the V_UI created failed error. Wich means you need to reinstall. And that doesnt work cause you crash after 5 min again

Conclusion

Microsoft or Lucasarts need to make a vista patch and pronto.

If you have a solution please email me

It loads on my laptop (which has vista) just fine, and i can play it, but it won't save the game past a certain point...and none of the cheats work...microsoft needs to figure it out!
