Welcome to the HLP. Keep all your fingers and toes inside the installation at all times! Exits are located near the "rear" of the station, however, due to the fact that the airlocks are broken... well let's just say we're not going anywhere . Flamethrowers are located beneath seats, but due to the moon conspiracy, GodTM, legalized flaming, ect. the napalm has been replaced with holy-water. Plasma rifles and shotguns are located in the weapons lockers, however, only the admins, :v:, and the hyperintellegent shade of blue have keys. At no point should you combine the symbols F S and 3, as you will be drowned in holy-water. If you should meet a Shivan in the airducts, give him your lunch and back away slowly. Strawmen may be constructed at any time in the gally.

Skip the alpha patches and use the mp-710 patches instead

Ok... I downloaded everything and put the files (media Vp,  FS_open and launcher) in the FS2 folders..
But... when I try to run the game it says that I need the OpenAL 1.1 and " can´t understand ´VideoCardFs2open´ OpenGL reg entry"!


Wht I did wrong!? :(

Hmmm...

Did you install OpenAL?
Did you run the FSOpen launcher?

Are these upgrades new? Or were they included in the version found here: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,39499.0.html

They're mostly new. I've answered the question in a little more detail on the other thread.
