am a game tester for EA sports and my computer at Home has a Geforce 3 in my computer with windows xp and i have the MP Demo and the real version in my computer and i got no problem running it but only y am playing the Demo is that i finish the Medal of Honor game and i can't play the full version of Medal of Honor online because EA only lets you play the full version on gamespy the 22 january so if you get the game early your gonna have to wait to play sorry!!!!

What video card do you have? That error means that your Open GL drivers can't load for some reason or other. Either your card is to old, or your drivers are. Update to the newest drivers, and failing that get a new card.
I've been running the demo without a prob on XP since it came out last week.

I don't think it's an XP problem.
XP Home Edition runs fine with Quake 3 and Wolfenstein, and I don't see how EA could fuck up something as big as not giving full xp support.

It's not an XP problem. Both demos work fine on XP HOme for me with a Geforce 3.

Get the XP drivers for your Geforce card.

When you installed XP, it used its default drivers wich doesnt support Open GL. Just go to the Cards site and get there latest update and youll be fine

My demo runs fine in XP! I have a GF 2 MX400, but one of my friends have recieved the same message as you did!!! He reinstalled the driver (the one for XP. 21.11) and then he were able to play!!!

Hope you get the Demo to run!!!
