J Doom problems

[Lost Soul]

I just downloaded this in hopes of something neat. but instead, when I try to get it to workd\, I get this message.

317 text strings
69 map info blocks
parsing config files
drOpenGL.init: Open GL driver not accelerated!
use the -allowsoftware option to bypass this

then it just ends and closes then ad there. I just got Quake 2 in software open GL mode..
could someone tell me how I can get this to work?

Oh, I think I know what's wrong. Check and see if you have a .dll named opengl32.dll. If you do, put it in your JDoom folder, or your Windows/system directory. If you don't, you might want to check this place to see if you can download it.

[Lost Soul]

the game won't accelerate otherwise, but that one works, so I;m not worried about that one right now ;)
I just wanna get Jdoom working

We don't even know if he has a Glide-based video card...

I put in in there, but I still get the exact same results

Well here's what I got.
a TNT 2 NVIDA something or other. I think that's the full name

[Zaldron]

Install the latest detonator drivers unless you're using XP.

[Lost Soul]

Unfortunately, I am using Windows XP.

[Zaldron]

Well it's not a Geforce, you *COULD* try them...

[Lost Soul]

well.. i guess I don;t have many other options right now.
where would I get em?

Thanx! I'll give this a try. Now I'll kill an hour somheow while waiting for this to download. gah..

[Lost Soul]

Okay, now I got it working. thanx!
but now there's something esle. how do I go back to sprites, rather than those ass ugly 3d monsters? It says on the Jdoom page to make them 3d to make sure the 3d models option is set to yes in the graphics menu.
I see no such option
