Newbie Question: Problem running LWJGL example

OpenGL Development
#1

Hi All,

I’ve downloaded the LWJGL package from the site…
and I’m trying to run the examples using way suggested
in the read me file. I added the libaray paths in case
they needed to look for the dlls

But I get the following error message

C:\Ben\lwjgl-0.6>java -Djava.library.path=C:\Ben\lwjgl-0.6 -cp .;examples.jar;lwjgl.jar; BitmapFonts

java.lang.Exception: Problem starting loop
at BaseWindow.start(Unknown Source)
at BitmapFonts.main(Unknown Source)
Caused by: java.lang.Exception: Problem initialising Lesson
at BaseWindow.createGLWindow(Unknown Source)
… 2 more
Caused by: java.lang.Exception: Mode not supported by hardware

at org.lwjgl.opengl.BaseGL.doCreate(Unknown Source)
at org.lwjgl.opengl.GL.doCreate(Unknown Source)
at org.lwjgl.Window.create(Unknown Source)
… 3 more

What is Causing this?
Does my Video card not support OpenGL ? :o
That would be kinda messed up…

Any help would be appriciated.
Thanks in advance.

If you upgraded to XP, it’s a possibility. MS decided they no longer needed to provide software support for OpenGL in XP. Make sure you’ve downloaded the latest driver. Most companies have updated their XP drivers to support it.
