Croquet Vista
Locked

I know this is silly, but I just upgraded my system to Vista so I am assuming this is the reason it is not working anymore, but I can't get a any instance of a Croquet world to start. I can start Squeak just fine, but when I try to drag any of the demo worlds into the Squeak environment I get errors like...
"Error: GL_ARB_transpose_matrix is not present" If I close more errors just keep coming up. At first I thought I had a bad download of the program, but alas, that didn't help anything. Any ideas what may be causing this? Thanks for your help! ~Jeff -- Jeff VanDrimmelen Academic Computing Expert UNC-CH |

Hi Jeff,
I believe that Vista has no OpenGL support. I'm not sure of the specific details, nor why this is the case, but I reckon that is the source of your issue. Regards, Alistair

Jeff,
It seems I was spreading not-completely-true rumours: http://www.opengl.org/pipeline/article/vol003_9/ It may be that you'll need to go and download an installable OpenGL driver for Vista for your particular graphics card/device, probably from the manufacturer or vendor's website. cheers, Al.

From what I had been hearing for a while Microsoft tried to effectively kill OpenGL by not permitting drivers to be written for it. They have since changed their stance (due to overwhelming feedback), but it means that the video drivers that came with Vista probably do not have OpenGL support, you will have to upgrade them from your vendor.

Another problem may be that you multithreading set for the OpenGL card.
Look under the advanced properties for your card. This caused issues on my laptop. Once I turned multithreading support off, everything worked fine. - Ken Jeff VanDrimmelen wrote: > I know this is silly, but I just upgraded my system to Vista so I am > assuming this is the reason it is not working anymore, but I can't get > a any instance of a Croquet world to start.

Once I loaded the nVidia "drivers" it worked like a charm. I beat myself up for a couple of months over this same issue. You might wish to obtain your video card's vendor official driver install for Vista and see if that corrects the deficiency. Sometimes the openGL bits are proprietary.
