Ok, So I am trying to Play Soldier of Fortune 2 at my school. Here is what our computers are made of\
Dell OptiPlex GX270
BIOS: Phenoix ROM BIOS Plus Version 1.10 A06
Intell Pentium 4 2.8 GHZ
Nvidia Ge force 4 MX 440 With AGP8X

When I click the game the consol comes up normally then the screen turns back and flashing at the top of the consol in red letters it says:
GLW_StartOpenGL () - Could not load OpenGL Subsystem

then the consol says
SOF2MP V1.02t win-x86 Apr 5 2002

Any help on how to fix this without shutting off the computer would be helpful, I've been told I need to download drivers but I cannot install them without restarting the computer and these computers have deep freeze on them :whistling: .

By school computers do you mean that your at like college at it won't work or are these public access computers in high school?

Most public school servers don't allow external installation of programs and if you find a way to install them they usually won't work because the computers aren't exactly fitted with the necessary software to run games, just applications and the internet.

That could mean the upstairs computers are older (or newer). But I know that when I was in school it took me and my friend some massive "hacking" to get HL2 on there. So my best advice is to give up, and stick to games on FlashPlayer.com or something similair :whistling:
