I can't help people who willingly refuse to spell "you" properly. I mean, seriously. If you accidently type "teleprotation" or "ominbus" or "metalurgist" that's understandable. This is just ridiculous.

In other news, I don't know what your OA problem is. Do you have the proper video drivers installed?

Have you installed the appropriate drivers for your graphics card?
Do you have an openGL supported graphics card?

Don't worry this is a forum. Saving space by Text Typing isn't required. It just makes it more difficult for some to understand you.

You'll get that error if you are aren't using the proper driver for your video card (Microsoft's ATi/AMD driver does not run the game (their nvidia driver does, however).

They cost about

the suspense is killing me!

anyway, a low-end sucky card such as the Geforce FX 5200 and so cost $30ish, but don't settle for that. What you want is a $120 video card at the least.

If you have a Geforce2 GTS or lower you may need to use the old, 'legacy' driver version, pre-76.xx, from before mid-2004
