For some reason, OpenGL games never work on my laptop with its x1600 video card. So, I decided to go digging and check it out. I looked in catalyst...

Driver Packaging Version 8.33-061220m-040818C
Provider ATI Technologies Inc.
2D Driver Version 7.01.01.569
2D Driver File Path \REGISTRY\MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\{4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0000
Direct3D Version 7.14.10.0464
OpenGL Version Not Available
Catalyst® Control Center Version 1220.2127.2546.38319


So that's the issue. How can I fix this? It's driving me crazy. I can't play Armadillo Run, Phun, or any other seemingly basic games without a 1 fps framerate. It's not like I'm trying to play Crysis or anything.

Check that thread out as it has fixed laptop OpenGL issues before now.

Okay. I applied the registry patch. I ran the benchmarking app, and these were the results:

(I don't know how to interpret this.)

EDIT: Hmm, since it says Generic GDI, that must mean the hardware isn't kickin' in...


I then tried Phun, which didn't work, and armadillo run, which did the same thing as before: Intermittently working/not working. CCC says I still don't have OpenGL support.

haaaaaaaaalp...


(BTW, using Vista Home Pr. 32)

Ok, here are my endeavors, cont.

Since the regpatch refers to "atioglxx.dll", I searched my computer for atioglxx. I found an atioglxx.dl_ and atiogl.xml in an old ATI driver install folder. I renamed the dll from *.dl_ to *.dll, and threw both into System32. Restarted; no success. Now, I am downloading what ASUS says is the latest driver for my specific laptop.

EDIT: Reinstalled the driver, to no avail.
