Do not use the Brink game on my computer laptop-message of error: the current video card/driver does not support openGL3.1 or newer.

I bought this game for my son who has installed ok. But when pressed on play error message: the current video card/driver does not support openGL3.1 or newer.

We have Windows Vista SP2. Does this mean I now have to buy a video card or y at - there a way around this without costing me more money?
Kind regards

Hello

I would suggest trying the following methods and check if it helps.

Method 1: make sure the game is compatible with your computer.

Method 2: update the video card driver and check if that helps.

Update a hardware driver that is not working properly: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isn ' t-work properly

If both methods fail, you will then need to get a new video card.

I hope that helps!

    This slowed the game.  I checked the video card is correct, and hardware accelerator says it's working properly.  This started after I downloaded two optional updates, one of them KB968930.  I uninstalled both of them and tried to restore the system with no result. the rest of the message is "Hardware accelerator is disabled rooms or not supported by your video make sure card driver that you install the latest video card driver and the accelerator is turned on."  I checked these things.

  • Video card driver does not

    Recently, I was playing a game and all of a sudden my screen freezes and lines appear. So I stop and wait a bit. When starting, it gets to the point where Microsoft first loading starts, then it freezes and shows the same white box. So I'll and do a hardware check and all is well. So I go into safe mode and it let me and I do a system restore the same thing occurs. So I reinstall vista and I'm no probs but then I load my drivers and restart and it happens again. I start to the last known good config and reinstall all my drivers except my video card driver and reboot. It worked but unfortunately my graphics card is not working, so none of my games work. So I narrowed down it to the graphics card. Any help will be much thnx.


  • Uninstall the old video card driver

    PC: HP Pavilion 6520f desktop computer

    new video card: AMD Radeon 6570

    I tried to replace my old Integrated GPU (AMD 4200) so that I could get a better game experience, but whenever I try to uninstall the old driver, the computer will not start up without restorations system 1 or 2.

    This also happens whenever I have install drivers for the new graphics card.

    I know that the card is incompatible (heck I use to write this) but I can't use it to its full potential because I can't install drivers for the moment.

    Is the my solveable problem? Or will I have to give it up until I get a new computer?

    PS (I had tried this before time with an AMD 5450 and curiously the instilation of the card, its driver and uninstall the old driver fitted perfectly and it worked perfectly... For a start.  Then he developed in a similar situation as described above. [in this case, the 5000 series is not compatible)]

    Hello

    You do not mention the upgrade of the standard 250 Watt power supply in your PC and the AMD 6570 requires a minimum of 400 watts power by AMD.  Not having enough power for the video card will cause lots of weird problems, including crashes, freezes and performance.

    The 6570 AMD isn't a good video card for modern games, you might want to return it and get a better card and a power supply.

  • Pavilion P7 - 1050t: update on the Best video card

    Hello, I upgraded my Pavilion P7 - 1050t a G620 processor i7 - 2600S with 8 GB of ram. Then, I want to upgrade to a dedicated video card and a new PSU. The State plug a PCIe x 16 expansion slot does not 2.0 or 3.0. I want to make sure that I get the best card I can get maximum use of. Any suggestions?

    Cgrech79, welcome to the forum.

    New video cards require the UEFI in the motherboard instead of a standard BIOS / Legacy.  HP didn't start using UEFI until mid - October, 2012.  Your motherboard may not be upgraded in the UEFI.  The last video cards that does not need UEFI were 640 gt.  The PCI Express slot is 1.0 unless it is specified otherwise.  The version 2.0 and 3.0 are backward compatible.

    I suggest that you determine the video card from the manufacturer that you want to buy and contact their Technical Support to help you choose the best card for your motherboard.

    You need to upgrade the power supply (PSU), also.  The current PSU is 250W.  Most newer cards require at least 400W to work properly.  I love Corsair products.  I recommend that you buy a power supply at least 500W.

  • HP Pavilion 500-267C: hardware acceleration is disabled or not supported by your video card driver.

    I had to reinstall Windows, then reinstall the drivers.  Fortunately, I had saved drivers in the system with the magic of the pilot, it was simple to just restore. However, when I try to start a Windows game, I get this error message:

    Hardware acceleration is disabled or not supported by your video card driver, which could slow down the performance of the game. Make sure that you install the latest video card driver and that hardware acceleration is turned on.

    I checked, and hardware acceleration is enabled, which leaves wondering what the problem is. In Device Manager, by looking at the audio, video and game controllers, I see only an audio driver. I came to HP site, looking for the right video driver, but I don't know what to download.  My computer does not have a separate graphics card (more pity). It is integrated into the motherboard.

    Can someone point me in the right direction?

  • Account not allowed to log on by using the current workstation

    Is this a bug in ACS 5.3.0.40.4?

    We have some AD user accounts that are allowed to connect on some computers. I am able to connect to computers are allowed with the AD-account, but the 802. 1 x fails and the client cannot obtain a network connection. It's on the vlan right, but he cannot ping the default gateway and is not set to the guest VLAN. In the ACS journal, we see the error "" EAP session expired: 24441 account not allowed to log on using the current workstation".

    I checked it by testing another user. I limited the user to only connect to a single computer. I then logged on this computer, and shortly after I lost the network connection and the same error in the log.

    This means that the 802. 1 x fails if you try to limit which computers a user account can connect to AD. If anyone has experienced this before?

    I know that he is two years, but we just encountered the same problem, but with ISE 1.2.  ISE and ACS MUST be added to the list of computers that are allowed for the user.  Which does not require that the ISE or ACS is in the same domain as the users, which would be a problem for the person who started this chain.  The "current workstation" in the error message "account 24441 not allowed to log on by using the current workstation" refers to the ACS or ISE, not end machine, as explained above maldehne.  This is because, for the most part, the user logs in ACS or ISE in order to authenticate against AD.  Not directly, but it's how 802. 1 X.  Added once ACS or ISE, authentication works perfectly (as long as everything else is correct.)

  • HPE h9-1001de: HPE h9-1001de - broken graphics card can I use the integrated graphics card Intel?

    I bought this PC four years ago (just the version, not CS as in the link):

    http://h20564.www2.HP.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docid=c03106002

    The integrated graphics went broken today. Research on the spec Web site I noticed that the Intel's integrated graphics. I won't buy another video card, if there is a graphics processor integrated into the processor.

    Indeed, there are two additional DVI ports; However, they are sealed with a sign "DO NOT REMOVE", and each port is sealed with two screws with a strange format (star with six faces?).

    Why these DVI ports are sealed? Why with this format live strange? I hope that's not for licensing reasons, and that I'm still able to use them as DVI ports...

    Thank you.

    Hello:

    I don't think it is sealed for any other reason than from your PC with a video of the add-on card, they would not people plugging in these ports DVI cables and by calling HP support complaining that the video does not work (because an add on card disables the integrated graphics card).

    Remove your discrete PCIe x 16 graphics card, so the built-in graphics card is enabled, put your hand on the good size torx screwdriver and remove the cover, so you can use the integrated graphics card adapter.

  • Satellite A105-S4384 - how to use the s-video port

    What is the way to use a s-video cord to connect my 4384 to use the TV as a display?

    I use Linux Ubuntu 8.04... Thank you

    Hello

    Usually, you don t need no work around special to make the connection with the external TV.
    You must connect the laptop with the TV using the s-video cable.

    Please note that the s-video channel must be enabled on your TV.
    Then change the video output in the properties of the graphics card.

    Using a Windows operating system, you would be able to switch to the external TV by pressing the FN + F5 keys, but as much as I know about Linux OS this function will not work.

  • Call of duty Black Ops Zombies 2, using the wrong graphics card

    Hello, I recently contacted Activision about the mode of call of duty Black Ops Zombies 2 very agitated and jumpy, like what you would get if you've played online with someone across the world, like really bad lag offline server, now I can play the campaign and multiplayer on the highest graphics settings and have no problem at all just the Zombies mode, even in offline mode. People at Activision back to me and said it could be because the Zombies is using the integrated graphics card Intel CPU and not discrete AMD card, and they said I should contact HP to see if if there is a way to activate manually in Control Panel. I'll link the Forum on Activision's post to read what said the people.
    https://support.Activision.com/Atvi_my_support_case_details?ID=500U0000005nbrlIAA&RMA=0

    If it does not work the link, then let me know and I will copy them here for you to see, if you think you need.

    Hi Goochster,

    I tried the link you provided, but it is inaccessible, unless we have a forum of Activision account.

    Normally, all you have to do is right click on an empty spot on the desktop and select Configure switchable graphics.

    Select it gpu performance and click apply. That should leave the AMD GPU default graphics package.

    Put a check mark in the box for the "saving GPU on battery switch' your laptop will not consume so much battery capacity.

  • My HP Envy for television using the old Tuner card

    I currently have a HP Envy 17 with no PCMCIA card slot. My old computer is a laptop HP DV9260 (Vista) that came with a PCMCIA TV tuner card (I never used). I still have the card and all other components.

    I want to use my desire to pick up digital TV shows, but I can't use the previous tuner card because the desire doesn't have a card slot. Which is the best option... (1) find an adapter to use the prior TV tuner to the PC (via USB) card or 2) buy a new tuner system? I checked with HP, not a lot of help support. Thank you!!
