Ryzom not launching on my windows 7 ultimate

[andvice2]

Hello guys! I just upgraded to windows 7 today, and Ryzom is not loading. I get this error message:

Missing Required GL extension: GL_ARB_multitexture. Update your driver


My computer specs are (if they can help):

CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 860 @ 2.80Ghz 2,93GHz
MOBO: Intel DP55WB
RAM: 6,00 GB (Corsair, 3 slots)
VGA: Nvidia GeForce 9800 GX2 - Driver Version "8.15.11.8593" (It's a 2009 version, I'm not updating because latest Nvidia driver burnt many cards)

The OS is Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

Well,

first thing to do is: run the external configurator and change the graphics settings to use DirectX and NOT OpenGL.

and it worked!

Thanks Gilgameesh!

I am running Ryzom under Win7 ultimate, Nvidea card and OpenGL. All is working perfectly.

Of course I do have a recent driver

If I run under Open GL on my son's box under Open GL (Win7Ult 197.45 driver) , all i see is a white screen upon entry....Using Direct3D, it runs for a bit but after a while pops out and in giving me the following message:

Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered

till finally it doesn't recover.

Web searches are mostly outdated on the error messages a some suggest disabling the 2nd GPU as some games do not support twin GPU cards like the GTX 295. Suggestions anyone ?

I have had problems using NVidia drivers that were not officially announced by my card's manufacturer. I'd say redownloading the latest version from the official source, a complete driver uninstall and reinstall is worth a try.
