Required OpenGL extensions not present?

[Mineria]

When I start Vdrift, game closes down asap and stderr.txt contains the msg: Error initilizing VDrift: Required OpenGL extensions not present

Im using vdrift-setup-2007-03-23-full.exe and the dll archive dll_vdrift_new.zip

Running on Windows XP x64 with Nvidia 8800GTS (driver revision 160.03)
Aprils update for DX9C installed, so do I miss some OpenGL extension in my system?
And if so where do I get it?

You probably just need to buy a newer graphics card.

Naaah just kidding. :-) That's one sweet card, and I'm a bit jealous.

Anyway, that message gets thrown if OpenGL says that you don't support the GL_ARB_multitexture extension. Could you check to see if this demo works for you:

It's OpenGL-based, and if that works, that means you have your drivers set up properly for OpenGL and I need to look into why my code would fail.

Bad driver issue, since demo gave me a black screen. Installed 158.22 and it works fine. Thank you

Actually, it sounds like the Microsoft video driver is being used!

The Microsoft video driver don't support OpenGL!

But that's strange that when I forgot to install the drivers from the GPU manufacturer that it just was terminated instead of getting an error message.
