Anyone got any ideas on how to solve this?
He says as he goes to fullscreen mode, he gets automatically disconnected from ET and it quits.

try different r_mode, or delete all profiles from etmain and etpro if you havent done that already, and try cvar_Restart

^^ reinstall seems like the easy way out, or (sadly) ask someone from that *other* site....bet they'd have it licked in 10mins with their understanding of openGL and all. :0(

Quote...creating GL context: failed


From that point it's going wrong, in my opinion.

I am no expert in these kind of stuff. But I'm sure it has something to do with OpenGL. :p Yes, I am Sherlock Holmes. :]

Plug out the video card and plug it back in.

Let him browse the Nvidia forums(if they have it).

Good luck with it! I hope this isn't some kind of excuse so he can't come to the CPC #2. Hehehe. :p
