openGL is something to do with your GFX card, i would try:

making sure you get a new patch (1.02) reinstalling the drivers for your card and if that dosnt work delete the WHOLE ET folder and reinstall from fresh

“could not find openGL subsystem”

Just install the latest drivers for your videocard, since you didn’t included your system specs in your post, we can’t tell you which drivers you need to download.

and be sure to install the latest version of directX.

I don’t think that ET uses directx… i.e. OpenGL subsystem error.
The stock drivers for win2k (maybe xp too) don’t include the OpenGL libraries, this has happened to me once or twice.

Hes prolly playing on some onboard Intel chipset or summat old, as everyone said, u need directx 8.1 and the latest card drivers and a bit of luck if its an old PC. If not just pick up a new, budget card and get back in the game!

It does, but not for rendering.
IIRC, DirectX is used for sound and maybe mouse/keyboard input.
