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.
