I experimented on windows xp that a video driver not supporting OpenGL cause
that problem.

I solved the problem reinstalling previous video driver supporting OpenGL

This sounds familiar. Microsoft makes the user take the initiative to
install
openGL or other things that other platforms automatically install.
I recall hearing something like this post here and believe
Microsoft is getting a bit more "open friendly" from what I vaguely recall.

Thanks for reminding me of this post which was rather long ago.

If you are using a DUAL core machine, make sure that multi-threading is turned
OFF. Croquet OpenGL does not support multithreaded ops. The setting is under
the Advanced Tab for the Video drivers.

A.G.,

Even if you are using a dual core machine, the multi-threading optimization might still not show under the Advanced Tab. That's what happened to me. If that's the case, you'll need to go into your registry and add a new key.

From the start menu, click Run

On my computer, I went to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE --> SYSTEM -->CurrentControlSet --> Control --> Video. I assume it's the same on yours, but who knows. I don't often mess with the registry.

Find the folder that corresponds to the video card- it will be the one with a lot of keys, especially ones referencing video games

Add a new DWORD value with the name _Croquet.exe:Ogl_ThreadControl a value of 2 and a hexidecimal base

This worked for me. YMMV
