Open GL is a graphics language and interface.

Before performing the download, check and see if there are open GL drivers on the CD for your graphics card.

You might also check the card mfgs web site for specific open GL drivers.

The 88MB download is a "universal" open GL driver.
opengl.org does have smaller "specific" downloads for some graphics cards. See if yours is covered.
