Try updating your video card drivers.

wow I wish I had a dollar for every problem p-pull have with 'XP' trying to run RTCW and MOHAA. Go to www.planetforum.com/planetwolfenstein/ and go to the trouble shooting section. Some where in there is your answer to it all. I know this will sound bad but get rid of 'XP' until they work it all out. Go with WIN 98 or ME.

i have a problem with RTCW too. i think it says something about my video card or something. and it told me to install a voodoo, and some other things. i guess it's my video card so i just uninstall it.
