My kids love this game so I had to figure out a fix. Existing fixes that others posted weren't working. Thanks to all the existing suggestions I found on several sites, plus four hours of trial and error, I was able to figure it out!
1. Go to the
GLDirect page on SourceForge. Download
gldirect5_opensource.zip.
2. Extract the contents. Go to the
gldirect5\bin\release folder.
3. Copy
opengl32.dll to your
GameData folder.
4. Play the game!!
Tested on Windows XP x86 with a Radeon HD 3850 AGP running Catalyst 10.11 drivers...
Success!!
Tested on Windows 7 x64 with a Radeon HD 4870 PCIe running Catalyst 10.11 drivers...
Success!!
Enjoy!
1/2/2012 Update: I installed the 11.12 ATI drivers and the problem seems to be resolved. If you are still experiencing this issue, make sure you have the latest drivers first.
