Get a gfx card with OpenGL1.2 version....(I hope so)
The same pblm happens me with Back Alley Brawl and i buy a 7600GS... Its working now...
And FX5200 was too old and it's in its last breath..So get atleast a 8600GT to play all latest games at low-med(Not all games at med) settings..

That doesnt matter here, as the game requires new version of OpenGL... So he has no option other than changing his gfx card...:D

just delete the settings.cfg\settings.cfg or whatever file from the main directory and try again.This is a common problem with quake3 engine based games(I am not sure if MOH:AA is based on that) and usually gets resolved as soon as you delete server.cfg from the main directory.

OR/AND,you download the latest drivers from nvidia.com and not let windows download and download them automatically,Microsoft makes sures not to install opengl components.

see the minimum confriguration
Windows XP, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows 98, or Windows 95
(Windows NT is not supported)
450 MHz Intel Pentium II or 500 MHz AMD Athlon processor
128 MB RAM
8x CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive
1.2 GB free hard disk space plus space for saved games (additional
space required for Windows swap-file and DirectX 8.0 installation)
16 MB OpenGL capable video card using an NVIDIA GeForce3, NVIDIA
GeForce2, NVIDIA GeForce 256, NVIDIA Riva TNT2, NVIDIA Riva TNT,
ATI Radeon, ATI Rage 128 Pro, ATI Rage 128, PowerVR3 Kyro II, or
PowerVR Kyro chipset with OpenGL and DirectX 8.0 compatible driver
DirectX 8.0 compatible sound card
Keyboard
Mouse


and my GFX is much powerful than any one listed here

and yes,i didn't installed the drivers of the GFX it was installed by XP itself and the CD is lost which contained the the drivers so when i download the drivers from the Nvidia site it asks for the following
Product Type: geforce
Product Series: geforce 5 fx series
Operating System: Win xp
Language: English (india)
so Will this give me the right drivers and the drivers for all the product series is same for 9 series,8 series,7 series,6 series,5 series,4 series i.e. a series will always have same drivers
