One of my friends had the same experience with an ATI card that came with his new Dell. The driver from the ATI site works fine, but the one that came with vista didn't support opengl (which was a bit of a bummer since his final year project uses opengl :P)Quote:

Hi,
May be Microsoft should have included Win FS in vista.
I am working on Linux ,so don't know much about Windows

This is a pretty annoying issue for the CAD boys. Vista is intended to run ActiveX whilst a lot of proprietary CAD systems use Opengl.Quote:

The workaround is to load an ICD from the video card vendor. Unfortunately, this will most likely disable a lot of the Vista Ultimate eye candy (Aeroglass), but it will allow you to run Opengl just fine.
I haven't tried it, but I would possibly look at messing with user and hardware profiles to see if I can switch between the two?

Isn't this just one more example of why you need to understandQuote:
the MS Vista driver DOES NOT SUPPORT OPEN GL.
that it really isn't about the OS, it is about Microsoft and their tactics.

:cool:
This is nothing new................Windows has been having problems with OpenGL since Windows 2000:

Nothing surprising, the only difference with Vista is that the fancy aeroglass won't work alongside it.
Windows is M$ proprietary software............ OpenGl is open source............ not really different from what you would expect is it?

Hi,
If we are talking about eye candy,we can make Linux no less then Vista or even better

One just gotta love it :D
Technically, I can see no reason why that should not be true. There was the Lindows (later called Linspire) offering that was Linux based with a Windows based GUI?Quote:

Well that is how I see Apple........... they had the edge product wise, but lost the marketing battle due to their obsolete (hardware based) business model. :)
