OpenGL Error Doom3

[sscommodore]

Hey there, ive installed Doom 3 recently and cant seem to get it to run, it crashes on start up, i have played this game before (years ago) and felt like giving it another try
My system specs:
p4 3.00ghz
1gm ram
512 hd3650
windows xp

I also have the latest drivers/catalyst (v 9.9)
Ive tried everything from re installing the game, the drivers, trying older drivers (with the use of driver cleaner)

PLEASE, does anybody know a fix for this problem, there seems to be literally no fix on the internet, i believe however from research that it may be OpenGL related, but i really do not know much on the subject, any info would be greatly appreciated, i really need your help!

Well what kind of ATI card do you have?
Also did you copy your game directory over or something? it's not executing the DoomConfig.cfg which makes me think that it's set to read only? If it is, uncheck it.

Hey mate thanks for your reply,

I've got an ati HD3650 512MB, itd handle doom3 quite comfortably so no probs there, ive even used my old 9600xt a few weeks back and got the same error so it doesnt seem related to the card hardware wise or anything like that

And copy my game directory? i just installed the game as you normally would so im not sure what you mean there, i see what you mean about it not saying executing doomconfig.cfg, the only problem is i cant find the file? where would i find it? i did a search off the start menu and it couldnt find any file called doomconfig, so am i missing it somehow? I have tried re installing numberous times (keep in mind this game was working the last time i played it, around 2 years ago perfectly) so I dont have any kind of faulty CD.
