GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem

I have a NVIDIA Geforce 2 MX 100/200 graphics card. I am using the very latest drivers. I don't know if this is related to the problem but I also have onboard graphics - 'Intel(r) 8210 Graphics Controller'. This has been disabled in Device Manager though.

I have also followed the instructions on the games websites - closing down all programs running in the background and running in 16bit colours 640x480.

Any suggestions and help would be great.
Thanks.

Ive had this problem with a tnt2 nvidia card, if you got some earlyer drives u them or redownload the the latest drivers see what happens then. When you install the drivers disable any anti virus software running in the background and any other software running.

It didn't work :( :( :(
I uninstalled the latest NVIDIA drivers then reinstalled some old ones with everything closed down. It still doesn't work!

Please help!!!

Did you have those games running before and then they stop working? Try downloading the latest drives again and install them.If that does not work i don't know what else you can do.

I have had this error before and solved it by using detonator drivers.
