The problem is I cannot even get to a window to create a cfg (so I don't have etcfg created) ^^

In the screenshot I can see it can't choose a compatible pixel format for the window.

Download this tool (OpenGL Extensions Viewer in the dropdown box):

After you run it you should see some devices listed in a dropdown box in top menu. One of them is GDI Generic and the others should depend on the graphics driver. What can you find in that list?

You have only GDI Generic listed there? That's bad :). I think you should install a different driver, maybe an older version.

Remove all external config files and reset graphic settings

most likely disfunctional displayrefresh or resolution

Do other games work?
If not try some legacy drivers from 2009

r_customheight ""
r_customwidth ""

depends on your resolution
