Okay, so here's the situation with this.. I've tried several clean installs of Win98 SE and WinME on my i945p computer. I have a 6800 Ultra 512MB PCI-E card. I have working chipset drivers for this chipset for Win9x, that's not the issue.. I'm using nvidia drivers revision 81.98 and the only mod I have done to it is edit the main *.INF file to add in a hardware ID for the PCIE card so the drivers will load. There is no errors what so ever during the driver install portion. It flies through, gets to the end, asks to reboot, reboot, everything is fine. I can run many Direct3D games just fine (Carmageddon II, Half-Life 1, Decent III, etc.) The problem is when I try to run OpenGL games.. like Quake-III or Quake-II in OpenGL mode.. or even Half-Life 1 in OpenGL mode.. they all dump back to the desktop with an error "Selected Video Mode Not Supported, running in software mode" (Error for Half-Life 1), and Quake II just reverts back to software mode as well.. and Quake III just dumps me to desktop and shows the blue start up box with errors saying mode not available.
So it seems like 81.98 doesn't have OpenGL support??? I thought it did?!?!?!?! Maybe I'm confused... Do I need to install something else to get this working?
Does anyone have any information about this or a suggestion please?
