Quake III Arena won't load (OpenGL Error)

[Terrum]

But Quake III Team Arena loads fine

The error I am getting:

For those who can't see the picture or are too lazy to view it:
GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem

Hope someone can help. Thanks.

EDIT3:
I'm trying to update my video drivers now to see if that will fix it.

Sort of looks like you're trying to run it in Glide...

That's an old 3dfx (hardware) standard.

Okay well I tried it when I was at home on my PC (ATI Radeon 4850) and it worked absolutely fine in-game. But it doesn't work on my laptop. How do I change the game settings without opening the game?

does your original quake 3 arena attempt to start at a resolution your monitor / Gfx card dusnt support?

The resolution doesn't change at all it just shows greyness in the window then the blue console pops up and shows that error (exactly as the screenshot prints).

EDIT: I wouldn't exactly know if it tries starting at a resolution my monitor/gfxcard can't handle/accept. Is there a way to change settings to the most compatiable and least settings without opening the game then? Like parameters?

Still having issues here, anyone able to help?

Quake is trying to use a resolution that your monitor doesn't support.
...setting mode 8: 1280 1024 FS
...using colorsbits of 16
...calling CDS: failed, bad mode
...trying next higher resolution: failed, bad mode

Judging by the screenshot you posted your monitor's native resolution is 1280x800. To fix that, you can locate your q3config.cfg file (something like \steam\steamapps\common\quake 3 arena\baseq3\q3config.cfg) and open it in a text editor. You have to change three values like this:
r_customheight 800
r_customwidth 1280
r_mode -1

After that you should be good to go.
