Exactly. It seems you need to upgrade your videocard drivers.

Wolfenstein: Enemy territory is a modern WINDOWS game, using a modified version of quake III engine = OpenGL

What video card do you have?
If you are using the built-in windows XP drivers -> YOU DON'T HAVE OPENGL SUPPORT

For nVIDIA cards: nVIDIA drivers

For ATi cards: ATi drivers

Looks from the log that the game has somehow hooked up with an OpenGL for Glide. So I'd guess you're running a Voodoo 'something' card and you need to get WickedGL (or other) drivers for it. Mind you Wolf is quite a new game and so may not perform at all well with said card/driver combination 😀

I don't have the game so I could be wrong 😉
