Hi guys

I've recently bought a mac (fortnight ago).... first time using one... still getting used to it.

I installed a pc game (an old game, ''Kingpin'') while on my windows partition but when I try to play it i get a ''directdraw init'' error, ''no opengl'' error and also says a specific .dll file is missing??? Is there no way I can play pc games on my mac? does the graphics card just not support them?

Thanks

What Mac did you buy? Model?

The OpenGL error is usually associated with the lack of a proper video driver for the application\game you're trying to play. The game is probably looking for a particular version of DirectX and OpenGL (hence, the missing DLL) which is not present.

Regards.
