Hi again, i was wondering why my KMQuake2 mod file wouldnt work because i used to play a modded game  from planet quake or fileplanet... now whenever i run the kmquake2 executable file it won't start up it would say ED:"couldn't load* open gl render" then closes

*note: i did have this downloaded file a while ago, and the "Hell is only for heroes" DID work then, but not now, dunno why... can someone give me pointers in how to fix this game/mod version... im talking about this game

http://www.fileplanet.com/161823/160000/fileinfo/QUAKE-II---Mission-Pack:-Hell-is-only-for-Heros or this...

please tell me what i need to do to play this lovely mod again...
**unsure if this is the right place to post this...**

Your hardware is exactly the same as when it did work?

Yes same comp that i've used before and same vid card and same everything... so now when i run the KMQuake 2 engine or the executable .bat file, it says "couldn't find open gl render" and yes it worked before when i installed it that ONE time but now when i did reinstall it, it doesn't work... says the thing in quotes... :x

I just tried copying and pasting the ref_gl.dll file also into my baseq2 subfolder and it SORTA ran but crashed saying "Couldn't initialize window".

no experience with KMQuake2

Addons work ok for other clients?

Im currently in touch via e-mail of the creator of KMQuake2 (Knightmare Quake 2)... so i hope to have this issue resolved soon. wish me luck

There's the solution to your problem right there in the text:

no hardware acceleration detected.
Please install drivers provided by your video card/GPU vendor.

You're running the default Microsoft driver.  Get the right one for your GPU:

And so im now installing my AMD ATI video drivers 10.2 now and its working like a charm thanks Nightmare! im back in business...
