Counter-Strike + WinXP = OpenGL mode not supported.

MrGrim
What is up with that? :[ I installed WinXP and the latest drivers along with the latest 3dfx tools (I have a Voodoo5). I also installed CS fine but when I try to start a game it says that this OpenGL mode is not supported by my video card, when I know it is since I've been using it flawlessly in Win2K and Win98.

Start Up items that I cant remove and Add/Remove dead links

HELLBRINGER
Is there any program (similar to the MSCONFIG from Windows 98) that can alter all the programs that startup? I looked in Services for some programs that are starting up and they are not there. They are also not on the startup list in the start menu, nor have options to not startup with Windows.

GotNoRice
After the first reboot, after it asks if I have any 3rd party SCSI controllers, it says Starting Windows XP. But then it just stays at that screen forever. The numlock light won't even go off (good test to see fi your computer is frozen).
