Isn't the win95/98 and NT OGL dll called opengl32.dll?

Having the OGL ICD or ICD "link" named opengl.dll may have those same
problems.    By the way, so far, all of the OpenGL games look first in
the game directory for the opengl32.dll file and then check the
windows\system.   It's generally not recommended that you replace the
original OPENGL32.DLL unless you're sure the ICD file is every bit as
stable, it's generally safer to put the ICD in the game directory or
back up the original DLL.
