Out of curiousity, what is the latest driver on Windows 7 for your card? I have an ATI X1600 (Mobility), too.

[handyd]

I downloaded the latest from ATI's website, but when I went to install it, it said I already had the latest:

8.56.1.15
4/24/2009

[Peter]

From your log it seems like you're still having trouble with your video card drivers. Please try to uninstall your current drivers and then reinstalling the latest drivers from ATI's website.

[handyd]

I tried that several times.  Still the same error.

[Stork]

I have the same problem, i have the latest ATI drivers in Win 7 and i still get the error message.

For you too, try this:

Thank you for the advice, got it to work on my older laptop though so no worries.

Will future versions have better win 7 support?

[piete]

What puzzles me in your driver is the date, because the support to our graphic card model ended in March 2009, which makes the catalyst 9.3 the last driver working for me. So you may want to try this (I supposed your computer is a desktop):

[handyd]

The driver date I have is newer than the one in 9.3.

The driver I has should work because it's the official driver that comes with Windows 7 and is blessed by Microsoft.

[piete]

Don't trust Microsoft's blessings!

If you don't mind trying version 9.3, give it a try. Back up your system first

[handyd]

I have already tried.

When I go to install 9.3, it says I already have the latest driver installed.

[Peter]

The driver date I have is newer than the one in 9.3.

The driver I has should work because it's the official driver that comes with Windows 7 and is blessed by Microsoft.

I'm fairly sure you will get the game to work if you install drivers downloaded from AMD/ATI. The drivers which come with Windows 7 may not support OpenGL.

So the question is not if future versions will have better support for Windows 7, but rather if future versions of Windows will have better support for Mule

But we will do our best to make Planet Mule work out-of-the-box with as many system configurations as possible.

I have already tried to install the latest driver from ATI's Website.  When I do, it won't install because it says I already have the latest driver installed.  I've already tried uninstalling the old driver and reinstalling the driver ATI's website.  I still get the same error.
