Hi Guys,
First of all I'd like to say what a great job everyone's done on the game.
Brilliant :p
Now to my problem.
I don't have any trouble running the game from the Freespace.exe but when I try
to start it from the Launcher I get this error -
"Unable to get proper pixel format for OpenGL W32"
Anyone have any idea what this means?
Oh forgot to mention that I'm running Windows 7.
I'd really like to play the mods but i can't unless I can run the launcher.
Any help would be appreciated.

From the FAQ (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,56279.0.html):
"Unable to get proper pixel format for OpenGL W32!"
* Make sure that you have (the newest) graphics card drivers and chipset drivers installed. Note that on Vista (and any other Windows) you must install the latest drivers provided by the graphics card manufactuter, not the latest offered by Windows Update.
* Make sure that you're using 32-bit colours for both your desktop and the game itself (can be changed from the Launcher's Video tab).

Damn never saw that in the FAQ :)
Well updating drivers got the Launcher to run but now the game crashes with these errors -
"Error : Could not load in main hall mask '2_MainHall_Galatea-m"
"Error : Verify failure: Vbuf0 !=NULL"

What is this, deja vu all over again? (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,63211.0.html)
Seriously, there's a search function, and it actually works!
