So my Fujitsu laptop running vista has no openGL support. It has a x1600 mobility radeon and I just wanted to know if installing the mobility modder would fix this issue.

Hello aakurtz,

Have you tried installing the latest Catalyst Mobility 7.5 drivers?

You can get them here:
http://ati.amd.com/online/mobilecatalyst/

If they don't work (ie// you get a setup error in regards to unsupported Hardware or INF), download the normal Catalyst 7.5, and use the mod tool from here:

The newer drivers provide better OpenGL support than the built-in display drivers in Vista, (in fact, i don't think the OpenGL libraries were included at all in Vista for the ATI drivers)

Good luck, and take care.

Thanks for the help but those drivers you posted are for XP and not Vista. I'm actully having a hard time finding the vista drivers.
