The OpenGL Windows 95 screen savers in OEMSR2 will fail if you copied the OPENGL32.DLL file that comes with GLQuake to your Windows\SYSTEM directory. The 3Dfx OPENGL32.DLL file only works with Quake. It will not run with other OpenGL applications. If you copied the 3Dfx OPENGL32.DLL to your Windows\SYSTEM directory and need to restore the Microsoft provided OPENGL32.DLL, follow these steps: OEMSR2 Users ———— 1) Insert your Windows 95 CD into your CD-ROM drive 2) Open a MS-DOS prompt, (Click Start, Programs, MS-DOS Prompt) 3) Switch to the Windows\SYSTEM directory, ie: C: [enter] CD\Windows\system [enter] 4) At the command prompt, enter: EXTRACT /A E:\WIN95 opengl32.dll [enter] (Substitute E:\ for your CD-ROM drive letter) Standard Windows 95 Users ————————- 1) Download and reinstall OpenGL for Windows 95 from the source you previously used.
