Windows XP OpenGL Solved!

Lately I've been playing with various 3D games again. With Windows XP I experience again texture and mesh problem. I've been thinking about this problem for several month, after I've found a difference (major difference) graphic performance between Windows 98SE and Windows XP. So I'm doing some research.

There's two different ways windows handling graphic processing, which come default from the game is usually DirectX Direct3D and the other once is OpenGL. Well in some case Windows XP default driver is not included OpenGL, and by default game will use Direct3D for texture maping and there's go the problem like blackout, meshing and poor performance. Well that problem will be easily solved by installing compatible OpenGL driver for VGA card.
