Hi, sorry for the delay.

I don't think your card/driver will work with the OpenGL renderer of Arx Libertatis as OpenGL 1.4 is definitely too old. However the Direct3D renderer in AF and/or AL should work.

My best guess is that the game failed to detect a resolution supported by your monitor (or detected a wrong one).

Could you edit your cfg.ini file and make sure that the resolution property under the video section is set to your desktop resolution. If that doesn't work, try setting full_screen to false.

cfg.ini is located in My Documents\My Games\Arx Libertatis for Windows XP. If cfg.ini doesn't exist, create it with the following contents: 
  1. [video]
  2. resolution="800x600"
  3. full_screen=false
  4.  
  5. [window]
  6. size="800x600"
 (replace 800x600 with a resolution supported by your monitor)

If it still doesn't work, run dxdiag to check for general problems with your driver setup.
