Could someone please post a link to a place where I can download OpenGL for Windows XP and graphics card NVIDIA GeForce2 MX/MX 400. I can't find it
. The only things I CAN find are discussions on how to make it work.

The driver that comes with your card should have OpenGL support.

OK, awsome. Now....where can I get OpenGL?

Nowhere. It comes with Windows.

Then your graphics card really, REALLY sucks. Almost every video card post 1998 has OpenGL support and even the integrated graphics adaptor on my laptop has OpenGL support.
EDIT: Ok, after reading thefirst post, you have a similar card to my beige box, which DOES have OpenGL support.

Of course the GeForce2 MX/MX 400 has an OpenGL capable driver. If you really don't have drivers installed (which I somewhat doubt), then you can download them from NVIDIA. Just download and install
this driver.

What version of Windows do you have?

According to his first post, he's running Windows XP.

ok. I didn't check. It might have been the first Win95 version - which indeed doesn't have OpenGL.
But in this case I don't know what to suggest. I once had a GF2 and all GL games worked without problems, including GZDoom's predecessor that never got released.

i have a winXP nvidea GF2 computer too, i only use it for the internet and not for games so it isn't a problem, but ever since my brother installed a bunch of updates to get his ipod to work opengl is completly broken, ive tried downloading the drivers, ive played with the settings, nothing, i gave up on fixing that awhile ago, im not complaining though, cuz like i said this is only a net computer.

You should not have to go there though...

He's probably using the drivers that are included with XP; those drivers only support Direct3D acceleration, not OpenGL.

Yes, installing official nVIDIA drivers should do the trick. I had a GF2 MX400 as well, and it ran OpenGL with no problems.

Uh, F THAT! It's 20.9 megabytes!!! I can't stay on the internet long enough for it to download! Is there a CD I can buy(Damit, I am TOOOO impatient for my own good)? Since I know some of you will post this, I'll post it for you.
Buy a FREE application!?! YOUR MAD!
But seriously, is there?
