ATi Radeon 9600

Hello all , i have ATi Radeon 9600 video card and i am using Window XP operation system and i have problems with OpenGL.
When i try to download from some sites and run setup i get this error:
OpenGL currently only supports Windows 95/98
And it tells me to register my E-mail to get notified when OpenGL supports Window XP.
So can anyone please give me a link to download OpenGL for ATi and Windows XP?
Thank You :slight_smile:

What app have you downloaded to give you such an error message? Anyway, you can get the latest ATI drivers from their homepage (http://www.amd.com/). If it’s not the drivers you want but to develop OpenGL you only need to install the Compiler. OpenGL headers and libraries are already included. To get access to newer features I would recommend to use GLEW.

[ www.trenki.net | vector_math (3d math library) | software renderer ]

I downloaded glSetup

where i can download this Compiler?

glSetup is more than obsolete since 2002.

If you want run application or play games that use OpenGL, no need for a compiler.

Just download and install the ATI/AMD video drivers from here (select your OS, video card, etc) :
http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html

i all ready have them…

but OGL games still dosent work

ATi radeon on XP should have no problem. It is not a laptop ?
What games did you try ?

Try to download and run GLinfo from here :
http://www.delphi3d.net/hardware/index.php

And post here what this tool says for driver version, vendor, renderer, and OpenGL version.

If you get “Microsoft” somewhere in vendor or renderer, it means your ATI drivers are not active…
In that case, check you have the hardware acceleration slider set to “full” in “advanced” tab of display control panel.
If you are in a multimonitor setup some extra care is needed to get hardware acceleration. Please give more details.

No its PC.
Serious Sam 1,Quake 3,Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy.+I can’t play Counter-Strike with OpenGL.

Yes i am in multi monitor setup.

Yes i am in multi monitor setup.

At least some progress : no acceleration is probably caused by multiple monitors. I am not familiar with how ATI accelerates its multimonitor setup.

Try with only one monitor, reboot. If it works with single monitor, at least you know where to search :slight_smile:

?? How to set it to one monitor?

It set to 16bits becuz of Serious Sam 1…

From the ATI site : “ATI Mobility FireGL T2 graphics processors are found in mobile workstations from HP and IBM”

So you have a laptop right ?
Serious Sam 1 is very nice in 32bits, I am not aware of any issue with 32bits…

Please go download and install latest ATI video drivers (Catalyst) from link above.
Then click the “advanced” button, and in one on the ATI red tabs you should be able to deactive the secondary monitor, and maybe tune the acceleration for dual screen setup.
Something like that :

Nonono PC.
Well in error message that sayd that i need OpenGL and to set to 16bits but nvm…

witch link,sorry i am verry sleepy…

http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html

well,
i set it to
Default Single Display in ATi TRAY TOOLS

and Catalyst gives me an error while installing that says somethink like that:
Setup did not find Driver compatible with your current hardware or operating system.setup will no exit.

i do not know what to do, i really need OpenGL

Catalyst gives me an error while installing that says somethink like that:

That is a real problem. Complain to ATI.
You may have a strange setup, you have a mobile card.

You may try with the Omega drivers, they are tweaked to work on a wider range of hardware (such as mobile cards) :
http://www.omegadrivers.net/ati.php

AS for every video driver, don’t forget to unistall your current ATi drivers before, to avoid conflicts.

OK i uninsstaled old drives installed Omega but nothing changed exept Contorl Panel
