Error in opengl - darkzell - 04-27-2009
Hi there. i'm using the latest build of dolphin and my specs are core 2 duo 2.53, 4 Gb Ram, HD2600 (O.S Win7 beta)
i'm getting the folowing error message in every game i try to boot:
"Can't create opengl renderer. You might be missing some required opengl extensions, .."
What's causing the error? is it because Win7? how can i fix this..
thank's

make sure you have your drivers updated

i'm sure.. i've installed the latest build of win7, and win7 updates all the drivers..

check to see that the driver doesn't say "(prerelease WDDM1.1)" in it

darkzell, he has given you suggestions that you ignored, then told you what you needed to do and you question it. Maybe you should try it and find out.

i have not ignored anything (the driver i have is the latest for MY system, but like he said i have to do a downgrade for dolphin to work), i'm simply putting simple questions like these, because i don't want to mess up my system.
