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 Sad
Mobile Intel 965 express chipset family (don't laugh Tongue), 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. Smiley.

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 Sad 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 Cheesy.
Shamefully to say it was my outdated driver.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 Smiley.
Now. Playtime!

Regards,
Joozey

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

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.

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 which is a free program.
