Ok so, I'm new here and I cannot join any server because it says something like: "Failed to open Jedi Academy.
Cannot start service because it's not running or has no devices associated to it"
I tried to translate it because I'm spanish and it shows in spanish...
Anybody knows how to fix?

Hello,
In order to help you better you could give us some useful informations such as :

- Your operating system
- Configuration : video card ect...
- Your version of the game : Vanilla game (with cd's), Steam or OpenJK version...
- Can you tell us if you have the dll : opengl32.dll in your Gamedata folder ?
- If you have an error number it is as useful as the description.
- You can also copy and past the lod text from the game window (the one with yellow text on black background)
- Any screenshot that may help.

Operating system: Windows XP Professional. (Yup...)
Graphic Card (I'm sure that's the name): Nvidia GeForce GT 630 (Yup... x2)

I don't know what OpenJK means so I guess I have Vanilla game.

No, I don't have it...

And no, there is no number.

Alright first of all
1. Go to the GLDirect page on SourceForge. Download gldirect5_opensource.zip.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gldirect/

2. Extract the contents. Go to the gldirect5\bin\release folder.

3. Copy opengl32.dll to your GameData folder.

4. Try to launch the game and tell me if it works.
