I suspect there's something serious going wrong with the drivers installation. Try to remove any trace of them and install a new one. It might help if you find a guide on google on how to remove any trace of the driver even if everything looks removed. hm Safe mode might help.

Ok, it is solved now... just so it may help someone else: I removed the file "opengl32.dll" from the folder "WINDOWS/system32". I was only able to do that in safe mode with command line. Then i downloaded a new copy of the file somewhere (dll-downloads.com" or something like that) and put it in the system32 folder. This file is not included in the drivers from Nvidia. Then it worked. I have absolutely no clue why.

Thanks everyone for your help.

This file is provided by Windows and it's not part of any OpenGL driver from a specific hardware manufacturer; it's simply a "router" or a wrapper of info from an OpenGL application to the actual OpenGL drivers of a card.

Hence ideally if you lose it you find it from the Windows CD/DVD or its updates, not from the driver of the card.



btw, it can also be put into a game's directory to be read from there; so one can try different versions in case that's needed.
