Hey guys, my name is Austin and i have had my computer for a few years now a while back i had some problems so i made a reset disk and formatted my computer. Everything was working perfectly fine until i downloaded a file and my internet connection wouldnt work! Eventually after no website forums were able to help me, i decided to use my same reboot disk! so i formated my computer again and did reboot disk. Everything was working for what i thought.. Until i downloaded a game. after instalistion i ran the game and it loaded, then immidiately after the game loaded it crashed. this happened over and over! so i looked into the logs and found this
OTPLocalizer: Running in language: english
from otp.otpbase.OTPLocalizerEnglish import *
:DisplayOptions: settingsFullScreen = False, embedded = False width=800 height=600
Known pipe types:
wglGraphicsPipe
(all display modules loaded.)
:display:windisplay: OS version: 6.1.2.7601
:display:windisplay: Service Pack 1
:display:windisplay: max Mhz 2194000000, current Mhz 2194000000
:ToonBase: Default graphics pipe is wglGraphicsPipe (OpenGL).
:display:windisplay(warning): SetForegroundWindow() failed!
:display(error): The application requested harware acceleration, but your OpenGL
:display(error): driver, GDI Generic, only supports software rendering.
:display(error): You need to install a hardware-accelerated OpenGL driver, or,
:display(error): if you actually *want* to use a software renderer, then
:display(error): alter the hardware/software configuration in your Config.prc file.
:display: Closing wglGraphicsWindow
:display: wglGraphicsWindow wouldn't open; abandoning.
:ToonBase(warning): Unable to open 'onscreen' window.
Traceback (most recent call last):
So i did further research since the log said my OpenGL was out of date. I downloaded Intel(R) Driver Utility Updater 2.2 to scan my computer for out of date drives it said "No drivers could be found for this device." So i did further resea tried running dxDiag through my computer and under display it says no problems were found! so i did even further research and got a GPU viewer. the GPU viewer showed that me OpenGL GDI Generic and Version 1.1! i cant find any ways to update Neither NVIDA nor Intel(R) Updater can find OpenGL on my computer! Whenever i try to download a demo of a more current OpenGL software the browser crashes! I run Windows 7 x64-bit build 7601 [Service Pack 1]
If you have any further questions please ask! i am not in financial position to buy a new computer and i need help i cant find any posts similar to this! no games will run! most videos wont load.
 
Did you read the error message? :D

Sounds like you'd need to install the official driver set for the card. When you reformat they usually give you a generic driver, although if you used Windows Update typically you get a more specific, yet dated one.

What specific GPU do you have? A driver scanner really doesn't mean/do anything.

not sure about video card?
 
Use the dropdowns to select "Drivers" and "Windows 7 64 bit"

and then download the first item on the list. (They are all the same driver, but the top result is the latest version)
