Install SoF and say goodbye to OpenGL

This is a discussion about Install SoF and say goodbye to OpenGL in the Windows Games category; I installed SoF yesterday as administrator. Now I can't play any OpenGl game (Q3A, SoF) or even OpenGL screensavers. I get something like 3 fps when I should get 75 and that is only if it works at all.

I have an Asus TnT2 and I tried basic drivers+opengl fix, 3.78, 3.81, 5.13 to no avail. If you have a solution to that problem ... I don't want to reinstall my OS just because some crappy game did something wrong.

Using a power user account as Raven Software suggests gives the same results.

did you creat an accound named SOF and make it a member of only power users then right click on the SOF shortcut and select properties and look for a check box that says run as different user check that and then launch SOF and it should ask you for a user name and password then type in SOF and the password and it works great. no need to log off. but you shouldnt be logged in as administrator all the time cause some hacker could run a script to format your HD or other **** only admins can do.
