Hi, I am having an issue when attempting to launch QUAKE wars, which I downloaded through Steam. Therefore, whenever I launch the game, I receive the following message:

"Error during initialization"

...using GL_ARB_shadow
...using GL_ARB_depth_texture
X..GL_EXT_gpu_program_parameters not found

Please, if anyone can offer a solution to my problem, then please do post.

Here our my system specs:

AMD Athlon(tm)64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ 2.00 GHz, 2046 MB, 32-bit Operating System, Windows Vista Ultimate. Also, I have the ATI HD 2600 (512 MB).

This is more than enough to run QUAKE WARS.
 
ATI cards need a driver that was released very recently.
