ET Problem

Open GL stuff is about your resolution, probably too high for your screen

Try to set a r_mode 4 or 6 and try again

This is a head melt

I think the problem is that you
Got a new pc and are having trouble starting up ET

You have installed Direct X, and also updated your graphics drivers.

Any ideas? There is no autoexec.cfg folder in ET Main file.
