Title: nvidia 6200 and openGL
Post by: CB on September 03, 2007, 09:34:46 pm

well, I've been trying to, but been unable to make the open GL run with my ard, updated drivers and everything. so, I am posting this in the faint hopes somebody knows a way around what seems to be a lack of compatibility from the card, lousy drivers or all of the above. (or, the always popular, no, you are doing something wrong, which I would be thrilled to know)
I can run the game with the D3D, but I'd like to actualyl see the videos, a small peve of mine, I know.

Anyway, any help would be appreciated.


Thanks in advance

Eh??? I have a 6200.  You got the latest drivers from nvidia?  And you uninstalled the old ones first?  (Yeah, I know, it sucks a**... have to uninstall them, and fight with Windoze over not installing M$'s drivers.. just hit cancel on "new hardware found" when you restart after uninstalling nVidia's drivers... then install nVidia's newest, restart, and you should be good.)

UPdate: Well, that worked all right. Thanks again for the hand.
