Ok I got the game today and installed it fine but when I run it I drop to desktop after about 5 seconds of the usual black screen you get as the games starts. I get a console screen which shows all the things that were initialized when the game was executed and in it I get the following (Don't undestand it myself ;) ):

Not sure if that lot makes any sense to anyone but anyway.....RtCW needs to run using OpenGL apparently and I'm sure I'm running with D3D. Is there a way to switch to OpenGL? Or should this be dealt with automatically by my comp?
This is what I'm running it on:
Windows XP Pro
AMD Duron 900
15.2 Gb HDD
448 Mb SDRAM
Geforce 2 MX 400 64Mb
(Not sure what the mother board is)
This happened to me a few years ago when I got Quake 3 but I had a different computer then and can't remember how I resolved it.
I'm using the latest drivers for my graphics card and latest version of DirectX (8a I think), also I've re-installed the game once. I can't even get to the game menu to change any video options. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thnx in advance.
