"Can't creat opengl renderer. You may be missing some extensions" error on newer card

Hi, I've got a GeForce 8600 GT, which I was told that it should work with Dolphin, but the message shown in the subject pops up every time I try to run it. I have the latest graphics drivers (just updated) and DirectX is too slow (2 FPS) and all I see is an exclamation mark anyway. Does anyone have a solution?

useless advice

1) update your vid card driver . if you are using an ati please use 9.3 (it was 9.3 right?)
2) disable advanced text service for dolphin

Actually, point 1 what you said was also useless since the graphics card was the first thing I stated. Also, advanced text services? Didn't change a thing.
