OpenGL

[TheCracker]

It won't launch the game.
It always says "Couldn't initialize OpenGL renderer! Update your videodrivers and be sure opengl is enabled!"
But OpenGL IS enabled =(
I have Windows Vista and 2 Geforce Go 7950 GTX
And I'm using this driver:

cant you use drivers from nvidia?

[TheCracker]

There are none.

Your best bet would be to get rid of Vista...

And either re-install WinXP or a Linux Distro. Either that or replace your graphics card but its for a laptop I assume so that's probably not going to help. You could always dual boot.

I need Vista for school, dont wonna get rid of it, yeah it sucks

I need Vista for school

Err why do you need it for school? What does Vista have that requires it for school? I never realised the new solitaire was required in school.

[TheCracker]

We will see... Its a good question...
But our professors are dumb... Last year one prof presse the floppy-button and wondered why the PC didn't boot lol

Those drivers are good for the original Geforce 7 series but hes got the Go series doesnt have support it seems.

He could try them tho and see if they work.

OIC, I didn't notice, sorry, not sure if those will work then, may be worth a try though....

Doing some checking the Linux x64 driver for those cards is version 1.0-9755, with a release date of March 7, 2007, so it seems like it may be possible.

If that driver doesn't work though I would certainly ask in the Nvidia forums...

You might also try these, but they are BETA:

32-bit

64-bit

http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvista_x64_163.44.html

If the first set doesn't work, you might need this bit of info:

"Q: Does NVIDIA support notebooks with UDA (downloadable drivers)?
Yes, NVIDIA has always been able to support notebooks with the unified driver on nvidia.com/nzone.com, but our Tier 1 OEM partners have always required that we direct customers to their Web sites and disable support for their notebooks in our unified driver. However, NVIDIA does support OEMs/SBs who request that their notebooks be enabled in our unified driver. For example, most of our launch partners are enabled on our Web unified drivers (Sager, Falcon NW, Voodoo PC, ProStar, and others)."

Which says to me, that if they don't work then it's probably because of your vendor and they should have drivers for you in that case.

i really gotta put this on my laptop now
just to see if it'll work....
