OpenGL Error
« on: November 01, 2010, 07:56:02 pm »
I get an "PS requires Hardware Acceleration (OpenGL). Make sure your Video Card Drivers are Up to Date"

Does this mean that I need OpenGL? I can't find it anywhere. What version do I need?

Also, is Radon 9600 Supported? The main site says yes so I suppose, but just making sure.

Normally Opengl is provided by your graphic card driver. I am not sure which OS you are using but if it is linux, you might have to download the driver for your graphics card from the internet and install it. Graphic card drivers are closed source, so some linux distributions don't include them, that's why you have to install them manually. But it would be helpful to know if you are using windows or linux or a mac

I am using XP.

Will a simple update of my driver work?

The problem is I can't find the drivers anywhere. Is there a site or a program that can do that for me?

Ati site won't work for some reason. Could someone link the drivers for me?
