Open GL failure, CM crash

[bullonboy]

Hello everyone,
first post...
We just loaded TRS 2009. Installed ok and game runs in compatibility mode,
but CM will not open. Windows error msg. etc.
We are a bit under powered on the machine, Nvidia GeForce 9200 128mb card, 2gb ram and p4. But it seems to run the game ok.
When installing, the diag test was all red x's and yellow ! next to Open GL
entries. Failure. Question, can we switch to Open GL from DX? Is this gpu specific? If so where to download Open GL?
We ran TRS2006 on this machine ok.
Thanks in advance.

Update your video driver by going to NVIDIA support at http://www.nvidia.com/page/support.html. CM2 requires a working OpenGL.

Done, but with errors

We checked the drivers and they were current. Did a new install of ts2009 and the cm worked this time. Thanks for your help. But I suppose my question was,
Do some gpu support Open GL and some only DX?
If so, is this why our install operates under Compatibility mode?
which brand graphics cards are Open GL friendly?

I think just about all video cards have software drivers that support OpenGL and DirectX. The difference is each brand of video card does a better job on one or the other. OpenGL is required for CM. For running Trainz you have to try each to see which is best for your installation.
