    Transfering OpenGL drivers across hard drives

    I'm not necessarily new, but I am running into a brick wall regarding my OpenGL applications on my computer. I am running Windows XP Professional and my C drive only holds 8 GB, so I installed a second hard drive which holds 30 GB. I've been installing all of my OpenGL applications on this drive, but when I try to access those programs or games, I get the same error message:

    Is there a way that I can transfer my OpenGL drivers and settings to the second hard drive?

    Re: Transfering OpenGL drivers across hard drives

    This normally happens if there is no hardware accelerated OpenGL pixelformat found.
    Deinstall and reinstall the graphics driver.

    I've uninstalled and reinstalled the video drivers more than once and the same thing continues to happen. My OpenGL applications work on my C drive but not my E drive.
