OpenGL mode not working

Hi, Long time user here, I tried to log on to Doomseeker today and join a game, and for some reason any game I join it doesnt even get past the loading/initialization screen.

I managed to play the game manually and run it in software mode which is fine, but I have absolutely no idea why all of a sudden OpenGL doesnt work?

heres the crash report:

Ill give my PC specs but it shouldnt make any difference as I was playing only the other day on OpenGL mode and it was fine.

Intel Core2duo 6700 running at 3ghz
Windows XP 32-bit
Nvidia Geforce 610 with latest drivers
never mind, i think somehow nvoglnt.dll got corrupted so I redownloaded it and its fine now

Could you post what it says while it is initializing?

Yeah Virtue, I'm having this same problem after moving to a new rig recently. Works in software but not hardware renderer (OpenGL).

https://www.dropbox.com/s/gbd0u2h4m2onf ... Report.zip Here's the crash report.

Specs: (So maybe someone can decipher this issue.)

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit
CPU: Intel Core2 CPU 6400 @ 2.13 Ghz
Memory: 4 GB
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT

Hopefully this issue can be resolved sometime?

I ended up removing the card from the Device Manager, uninstalling all Nvidia drivers and reinstalling Zandronum, then reinstalling the Nvidia stuff just to be sure, it worked. I think its a problem with the nvoglnt.dll file, but cant be sure. Try that maybe?

This worked for me, glad you told what you did. Because after going about maybe 5 drivers, only an 800x600 windowed would work and it was too tiny for my resolution, or sometimes 4:3 aspect ratio resolutions wouldn't display right (skewed, flashy stretched colors, etc).

Yes. But only when HL3 Z& 2.0 comes out.
