I have tried to run the game in win 2000 and had no problem but in win xp it says can't find some Open GL subsystem or something like that.
I have an AMD XP 1700 with MSI board, MSI GeForce 2 Ti 64mb ddr with all the drivers (latest NVidea XP drivers) and latest Mo/Bo drivers and the latest Direct X.
so what could be the problem???

there is a patch for MOHAA already...I really don't know if it will help you. As I dont have any problems playing the game in win XP (though I can't do multi player right b/c of my firewall). Well the patch is 15mb and you can get it at www.mohaa.ea.com

lo, I had exactly the same problem. What you have to do is to go to your videocard manufacturers site and download the latest windows XP drivers.
Alternatly download the latest Nvidia released drivers from

This worked for me, it should work for you.

THanks guys, but i forgot to reply immediately after my fix since i did it by updating windows.
Since i upgraded from win2k to winxp i guess windows didn't keep all the drivers and apps installed as they should be even thought it said nothing about conflicts when i started installation. But what i did is updated everything that was to update so far for windows xp from the microsoft site and there seemed to have been some nVidia updates there as well which appearantly solved the problem.
thanks anyways.
hope this helps future problems that others might run into.
bye!!!
