OpenGL Video mode?

I'm trying to play a game. It loads and plays fine. But I want to be able to
switch to OpenGL video mode.. But when I do it says it's not compatible or
something and I have to switch to software mode.

The game is.. Team Fortress Classic.. =D old game.. but I like it.

Anyway, anyone know what the problem may be? Is it something with my graphic
card? or because the game is so old? orr.. yeah?


my graphic card is -

Intel(R) 82865G Graphics Controller (Microsoft Corporation - XDDM)

You'll need newer video drivers which support OpenGL.
