Win2k Pro doesnt like Games?

AustinJrock
Hello all, I'm impressed with this website, but until now have been nothing but a lurker. I have alot of experience with Win2k from work, But until now I've always used 98SE at home. I just loaded Win2k Pro, and while trying to load all my games back up, I've had ALOT of problems, hence this post.

Descent 3 killed my PC!

duhinfinity01
Okay, I'm pretty ticked off right now. I've been waiting too long to enable my Direct 3D features on windows 2000. I've downloaded the latest drivers from the manufacturers of Nvidia and Microsoft to enable this, and it finally worked.

Quake3 Arena

Seffy
I have Windows 2000. I have tried to install Quake3 Arena, and OpenGL is needed to run the game. However, OpenGL will not install from the Quake3 Arena CD, because Windows 95 or 98 is needed. So how do I install it, or where can I get a Windows 2000 compatible copy???.
