Are you sure that the OpenGL ICD was properly installed? Look in your
windows\system directory and see if there is a file called opengl.dll in there.
If there is not that could be why the games say your card doesn't support
OpenGL because they look there first for the OpenGL ICD and if they don't find
it they crap out. Check the driver disc and see if you can find that file in
there and copy it into the windows\system directory. If that doesn't help then
the only thing I can really suggest is to save up for a TNT based card I've
seen them as cheap as $129 and that's in retail stores. Good chance you can
find them for $99 online.

Yours,
