Windows Forum / Windows XP / 64-bit / October 2008Opengl
I have installed XP Pro x64 with all service packs and updates, all new driver that are 64 bit, have newest ATI 8.9 drivers for x64. and I still only have opengl 1.1 all my 3D programs need 1.3 or better I have looked all over the web at MS site and cannot find any way to update my opengl32 to 1.3 or better, xp pro x64 comes with only 1.1 and no matter who I ask or were I look I cannot find any download to update my opengl32.dll. Can some one please help, I have been trying for a week now and Im just about ready to format and go back to 32bit xp pro. >I have installed XP Pro x64 with all service packs and updates, all new > driver that are 64 bit, have newest ATI 8.9 drivers for x64. and I still [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > and > go back to 32bit xp pro. Try visiting this site instead of MS' site: http://www.opengl.org/resources/faq/technical/mslinks.htm . You may be able to rename an `opengl.dll' newer version to `opengl32.dll' to get your programs working. -- Allan That all very old and most is missing from MS sites..

Newest ATI 8.9 support opengl 3.0 according to the release notes here: https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/gamesite/Catalyst_89_release _notes.html Carlos > I am no authority on this but I am possitive that MS stopped supporting > updating OpenGL at some time - the necessary support should be built into [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] > >> -- > >> Allan What gfx card do you have?

A search of Microsoft.com for opengl & x64 provided the following Knowledge Base article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896456 Quote: OpenGL The x64-based versions of Windows Server 2003 and of Windows XP Professional x64 Edition do not include an OpenGL graphics driver. Contact the manufacturer of the device for a driver that is compatible with the x64-based versions of Windows Server 2003 and of Windows XP Professional x64 Edition. End of Quote. Which means there is NO OpenGL support included in XP Pro x64. So, that means you must rely on ATI graphics drivers for OpenGL support. Thus, this is NOT a Windows x64 problem! > I have a ATI 1950 Pro with 512 gddr3 support for opengl 3, tryed new drivers > and older ones.

It's worth adding that there will probably never be any updated graphics drivers (or any other drivers) for XP Pro x64 as most manufacturers consider it an obsolete OS, replaced by Vista 64. Try a Vista 64 driver from ATI, it might will work, if not there's probably no fix available unless you ask ATI to provide one and that's certainly worth a try.  SignatureXS11E, Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project: http://improve-usenet.org XS11E, ATI is still supporting XP x64. Their latest drivers: http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx?p=xp64/radeonx-xp64 are dated September 2008 (same as Vista x64) and claim opengl 3.0 support.

Carlos I'm surprised but I shouldn't be, it's probably the same driver for both OSs.

If you think back to the development of Vista there was a new driver model. So, Vista x654 drivers won't work on Server 2003 & Xp x64. Do note - you must use 64bit drivers. It is not always obvious from the official sites, until you learn to ditinguish between them.

Hi Tony, I was just thinking of you when I was buying a "Campanario" Pisco Sour at just 19 pesos (that would be a mere 6 dollars!!!). :) Carlos > Do note - you must use 64bit drivers.

I'm moving to Argentina! Seriously, though, one of the many benefits of living in a society formed by 40 years of Social Democratism, is that Schools and Hospitals are free for all - the revenge comes in form of high taxes on the luxury parts of life. Gas, at the moment is more than 2 dollars per liter (roughly 8 bucks per gallon, I believe?), and Spirits are siphoned off by the state at a rate that a bottle of 70 centiliters generally cost - not under 15 dollars. This is a 'sour' part of living that has been repetedly confirmed as a wilful sacrifice by our galant people, allthough everyone are perpetually wishing for slightly bigger carrots and a noticeably softer wip. Personally, I think the philosophy is sound. I mean, who cares about the price of gas and licour when you get seriously ill? Call the ambulance, and you are automatically on paid sick-leave. No discussion - that has got to be the essence of solidarity. So, the wip encounters toughened skin - I know what to expect.
