Can you give me the following information:

• Operating System
• Video Card
• Video Card OpenGL Driver (i.e. date and version)
• Output of psclient when started from commandline with -verbose -console options.

It is rather important you find out as the problem is most likely here. Try to find where you can download the latest OpenGL drivers for your card.

Well just run psclient from a commandline (i.e. dos box) with the options I gave above:
psclient.exe -verbose -console

Well you must first change your directory to where you put psclient:
  cd c:\\bla\\bla
