Which video card do you have? Try and see if you can find updated drivers for it.

That's a good point. If that's the case, my dear woutersmits, I get to say this for the third time within a week.

Get OpenAL (http://developer.creative.com/articles/article.asp?cat=1&sbcat=31&top=38&aid=46). If the link fails, you can also find it in the Useful stuff for FSO link in my signature.

And otherwise, don't use the crappy windows drivers^tm for your video card, since they work with.. openGl 1.1...

Ya, always use the latest released drivers from your device manufacturer if at all possible... Windows ones shoot for rock bottom compatibility and stability at the cost of functionality.
