"OpenGL Version: Not Availabe" Why can't i update my OpenGL?

The Brink · Oct 5, 2010, 03:25 PM

I have 2 X1300PRO ATI cards and in the catalyst control center it says that "OpenGL Version Not Available" and i can't play many games that use Any OpenGL. I can't find any downloads that actually work in updating or fixing it. What can i do? It should be so simple i'm sure, just a download, but nothing works

What downloads did you try exactly?

Try the latest legacy driver, you didn't mention what operating system you have, but these are for Vista and 7, 32 as well as 64-bit versions.

I'm On vista 32 bit. But yeah i've tried that download. It doesn't change the OpenGL availability

It still doesn't work

you should uninstall the current driver and clean any remnant of it with DriverCleaner.NET (in safe mode) and then install the driver from IvanV's post.

Yes! Thankyou, i was afriad that uninstalling the software completely could have some bad effects, so ididn't want to try it without prompting. Thanks guys. Wish i'd just uninstalled and reinstalled earlier though :/
