Start Up Problem

I'm running Doomsday using the beta5 model.
But each time I load it, it crashes and a message keeps saying the following:

drOpenGL.Init: OpenGL driver not accelerated!
Use the -allowsoftware option to bypass this.

    Wow... that's going back a bit!

    You need the official nVidia drivers. The Microsoft defaults have no OpenGL hardware acceleration.

    nVidia Forceware drivers for GeForce 2 (Windows XP) cannot be found on the official nVidia page easily, as far as I know the Forceware v71.89 are the latest version for XP to support GeForce 2 GPU's. Get it from http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_71.89.html :)

    Don't blame me if this breaks anything else though... use the "Rollback Driver" feature if another game stops working.
