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

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

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.

I tried that several times.  Still the same error.

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

Here is my log:

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?

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):

http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/9-3/Pages/radeonaiw_xp.aspx?&lang=English

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.

Don't trust Microsoft's blessings! ;)

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

I have already tried.

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

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.

Yep, exacly same here...

It seems that this is mostly a problem with Vista and Win 7, anyone having this trouble with XP?

Me too :(
Mobile Intel 965 express chipset family (don't laugh :P), and windows 7.
But the game 'Dwarffortress' works splendid, which is also OpenGL.
Not that I trust Java + OpenGL a lot...

Darn I wish I could play this, it looks great!
This notebook is all I have, especially useful for non-graphically-heavy games like M.U.L.E. :).

My friend had the 965 chipset aswell, and Vista.

He only got a black screen...

Black screen is a bit OT but I managed to get by it by updating the display driver through the manufacturer's (this case Toshiba) website. I still suggest building a slax live cd/usb to see that the fault is not at the graphic card, works like a dream on my intel 965 chipset...

I tried on a different windows xp pc at work, and it works great.
I then installed the virtual xp environment from microsoft for windows 7, but it did not work :( same error.

EDIT:
The log says just before the error:
"Pixel format not accelerated"
Googling on this error gives hints about opengl most likely not being found. Now this is a probable assumption as I had anothe project failing due to malfunctioning opengl. Perhaps certain chipsets do not run opengl well, but since piete's chipset handles it like a dream...... hm....

EDIT again:
Okay got it working :D.
Shamefully to say it was my outdated driver. I kept installing the latest one my notebook manufacturer offered, but it is not the latest (it wasn't even for windows7). Went to intel's download centre, searched for chipset 965 for win7, downloaded and installed the driver (which states: media accelerator. Comes awkwardly close to the error message in the log), restart and done.

You can download the driver here:
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/

When installing it will mess with your screen a bit, changes resolution and turns black, just let it go and it'll be fine :).
Now. Playtime!

My friends Sony Vaio with the intel chipset does not let him install the intel-drivers...

Only the drivers that are available from sony.

That is odd, then if Sony doesn't offer the latest driver for his intel chipset he's got a problem.

It may help to use a program to remove your current drivers before installing the ones from ATI's website. You can for example use Driver Sweeper (http://downloads.guru3d.com/Guru3D---Driver-Sweeper-%28Setup%29_d1655.html) which is a free program.

Thank you. Driver Sweeper helped fix it.
