I've been playing Warcraft III on my MBP for a year. Yesterday my Warcraft III failed to open anymore and gave this error message: "Warcraft III was unable to initialize OpenGL. Please ensure you have OpenGL installed and that your display drivers are current." I haven't changed anything about my computer.

The only problem I can think of is that I recently set Warcraft to use my external monitor instead of the MBP's in the game preferences. My external monitor is in a different city now, and Warcraft won't load.
 
Through a series of reinstalls, I've come to the conclusion that the 1.0 versions load and work just fine. After patches, I get the OpenGL error messages. Any help?
