MOHAA and opengl problems

I fixed this once before but Ive forgotten how! When I try to run MOHAA i get this error
GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem
be grateful for some advice.

Are you using stock drivers?
This has always occured to me on all video cards when I used winxp/winvista drivers and got fixed by installing the appropriate vid drivers ( works on cards ranging from ati rage 8mb to geforce 6800GS, no idea on higher cards as don't own any ).

do you mean beta drivers?

Hmmm beta's should work fine.
What OS are you on ?

EDIT: Nvm, OS doesn't make much diff, as I play it in both xp and vista x64.

Try older drivers like the ones with your gfx card cd.

Vista 64

Hmmmm, although that shouldn't be a problem on it's own, as I actually mainly play mohaa in Vista, it might be the vista drivers for the 8 series, as I've said before try earlier drivers, prefferably the earliest vista x64 drivers that support geforce 8800GTX.

did you have to fiddle around with opengl files in order to play MOHAA in Vista?
