The problem probably is here:
Whenever you upgrade your OS, or install software which updates the
video drivers, part of the openGL installation might get corrupted.
Dont ask me why, what, where. I dont know, but the general advice
seems to be:
Reinstall the original video drivers of your
sound card. reinstal openGL and go ahead...
I had the very same problem with Second Life and with Croquet on Windoiws XP.
Microsoft is known to ignore open GL ;-)
Following the description above helped in my case.
