Title: OpenGL and NVIDIA
Post by: seraphicfury on June 14, 2009, 01:20:43 AM

I have a GeForce 7600GT Graphics card from what i can tell I have OpenGl 1.0 and need 2.0 to play or something like that, am i even close?  I cant figure out why it says please check if you have a OpenGl capable graphics card. And i have the latest drivers from the Nvidia website and everything i think

Im running xp pro 5.1 build 2600
AMD athlon 64 processor 4000+, MMX, 3DNow
2gb RAM
Directx 9.0c

 I ran a program called like forceGL or somthing and it loaded the game actually but everything was squares. I dunno. Anyone have a clue.

You need to update your video drivers. I know for a fact that card works since I ran that same card 3 years ago to play this game.

Search for your card and download it.

I have the most up-to-date driver installed the 185.85 NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT Driver. I've manually done it and auto searched it both times it says I'm up-to-date

#1. dont trust any driver search engine to tell you youre up to date. find out what driver you have and go to the manufacturers site and find which is the most recent.

use a program like "driver sweeper" (http://downloads.guru3d.com/Guru3D---Driver-Sweeper-(Setup)_d1655.html), follow the directions and wipe the old drivers out. make sure youve downloaded the latest/greatest driver for your card ahead of time and install once old drivers are gone.

if that doesnt work, quit digital paintball for life.
