Problem with C610 Graphics

Alexander_Papp · Jul 6, 2005, 12:43 AM

I have sucessfully loaded a pc game: Call Of Duty, when i start the app it cuts out to an error

that reads somewhat like this:
Could not load OpenGL. Make sure you have the latest drivers for your video card from the manufacturers web site.

------------------------------
SO.... I have a Dell Laptop C610, and where could i download the right software or w/e. i believe this is the problem.

Talk in plain english please because im young and new to the computing world

The Latitude C610 appears to be equipped with a Radeon mobility M6, (Mobile version of a Radeon 7x00 series).

Apparently, it should run with Omega drivers (you'll fid them mentioned often here), or on current ATI Catalyst drivers after fixing them with the "Mobility Modder" - also from around these parts.

Don't expect miracles though, you're looking at a GPU that's 2 generations old, and unlikely to do justice to anything demanding.

Update to the latest video driver from Dell for your laptop. It's the Catalyst equivalent 4.xx or so - I'm using it now on my C610 - but if the game requires hardware based Transform and Lighting (T&L) it won't work - the Mobility M6 doesn't have it.

Here's a link to the download page:

It plays UT2004 (DX8) and Serious Sam Second Encounter (OpenGL) just fine.
