Default How to run OpenGL 2.0 for XP?

My system runs on Win XP SP2.

Recently I test run a utility "GPU Caps Viewer" ( website at
www.ozone3d.net/gpu_caps_viewer ) and the utility tells me that the
tests need OpenGL 2.0

I have search the Net for information regarding OpenGL 2.0, hoping to
download a "patch" or something that can upgrade my system to OpenGL
2.0.

Perhaps it's because I'm not that bright, or perhaps I'm just unlucky,
my searches turned out nothing.

So here I am, asking for help.

Can anyone tell me how I can upgrade my Win XP SP2 to run OpenGL 2.0
programs, please?

Thank you all in advance !!

OpenGL support is *entirely* a function of the video card drivers,
and _not_ the OS. Contact the manufacturer of your video card to obtain
the most recent WinXP-specific drivers.

Programs that Require OpenGL Support May Not Run in Windows XP

There is a potential glitch explained here. A left over
DLL from an Asus video card install, prevented full functionality.
(ATKGL32.dll).
