I recently put Vista Ultimate on my comp (yeah yeah I know, shut up) and installed my vid card drivers and everything. DP won't run though, I get the opengl error. I got the newest drivers from ATI and the catalyst center too. The info on it says it's got opengl installed. So far this is the only problem I've had on vista, I'm having dp withdrawals though. I know some of you have had a problem like this because I did some searching around, but no solid answer. Any help would be cool. I put two pics of what I'm talking about. BTW, my vid card is a 512MB ATI Radeon x1650.

holy crap sorry, I didn't mean for that to come out so huge.

ATI cards are a pain. First thing you should try to do is update your video drivers.

I did, newest ones. There's no omega drivers for vista yet. I got the drivers directly from ati.com

That's what she said.
Since you have an ATI card, my first bet is to blame their typically-crappy drivers. Do you have any other OpenGL applications you could try? You might also have to enable hardware acceleration somewhere. I don't use vista, so I'm not sure what settings it has.

yeah all the hardware accelerations are at max. I guess it's the crappy drivers. I kinda figured that would be it. I guess I have to wait. darn

You might try older drives. ATi drivers are hit or miss. If you find some that work, don't touch them.

no dice, all gave me the same thing.

You might try nVidia. :)

that's like taking your 2005 car to a car wash and they tell you to go buy a new car.

Yeah, I was kidding. No one likes ATI. :D

"The 640×200 2 color mode with its default foreground color"
LOL. I've got a OLD Atari computer here. It dont have no graphics card i think.
EDIT: Couldn't work the quote.

I have exactly the same card and i got the same error first but then my big-brother installed some drivers and it started to work.

Rick, u have an ATI cos u probably have a old motherboard, just like mine.

No i have an ATI because they were cheap. not because i have an old motherboard so shut up.
-
cheap? u gotta be kidding unless u got it off ebay. A 256Mb ATI costed more then a 256Mb ATI 4 me.

Im not sure if this is even in the same ballpark, but I know that with alot of new graphic card drivers (especially nvidia) you need to do a pretty thorough removal of the old driver before installing the new ones, else you can end up with issues. Ive used DriverCleaner (guru3d.com?)succesfully a few times. read instructions though, gotta uninstall driver, run in safe-mode, clean the cabs, etc etc.
If Henkka says he's got the same card and he's used a driver succesfully, seems to me youve almost certainly eliminated one variable (which driver to choose). Its time to explore what else is getting in the way.
Anywhoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo,
good luck,
