Go to http://www.nvidia.com/ and download the latest drivers.  You may need to use a program called Driver Cleaner to make sure the old driver is completely removed.  What version of windows are you running?

Those games probably use DirectX (Microsoft's 3D rendering tool).  MS makes it mildly inconvenient for people to use OpenGL (which accomplishes basically the same stuff, only it's not made by MS).  It's always good to have the latest drivers, anyway.

Are you using the drivers from nvidia.com?  The drivers Microsoft provides will not work with OpenGL.

Ahh, ok -- I've seen that error before.  There's a way to fix it by editing the registry:

1. Click, Start, Run.
2. Type in regedit & hit Enter.
3. Go to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\OpenGLDrivers]. Delete the RIVATNT subkey.
4. Go to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\OpenGLDrivers] & make a New String Value entitled nvoglnt.
