I've look around and I think the way I have it, is okay. W/O OpenGL installed
you should get a return 0 from GetPixelFormat with W2K. I did some debugging
at work sometime ago, and noticed strange stuff going on between Gdi32 and OpenGL.
I can not find my research papers on this.

W2K needs OpenGL installed for IE 6+ or Explorer? I just remember needing
to install OGL for a upgrade for W2K. Other than all this, and my past posts,
the way I have GDI redirect to OGL should be the way to do it.

Try to find my post "OpenGL32 in Gdi32 Support" back in 08/31/03.
If you can not find it I'll repost it.

If I'm wrong, no problem! I'm just wrong! 8^>

Yes, we need to meet. Once I get off my dead horse and clean up my lab, We'll
do it.

Thanks,
