MonkeyKungFu Posted July 27, 2020 Posted July 27, 2020 Updating an older laptop's video card drivers. Hi folks. Probably a pretty typical story here. Found out COH was back and nearly died. Grabbed all my old laptops, and my sons and I are killing skulls everywhere. One won't work though. We reset it back to original (using recovery) and updated everything that could be done online. Specs - Satellite L505-S5990 - Intel Core 2 Duo T6500 - Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit - And the graphics info is Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset Family (Microsoft Corporation - WDMM 1.1). When we downloaded Tequila and hit play, an error message popped up, it read... "An OpenGL driver for your video card was not found. The game will not run with your current configuration. Please update your video card drivers in order to add OpenGL support." It then says contact nvidia, ati, or intel to update. We rant the intel diagnostic and it says up to date. I chatted with an intel tech, they said they no longer support updates to this machine as it is old. Basically, can I do anything to resolve? Can something be done online, or do I need something else? Or is it a lost cause? Thanks in advance. @Rumor Has It Indomitable!
Marine X Posted July 29, 2020 Posted July 29, 2020 You may be at the point where there are not drivers available for the internal graphics, if it was a desktop I would say shop for a used video card that has drivers to match your operating system, but most Laptops are not upgradeable. I looked in all the driver dungeons I know of and had no luck. " When it's too tough for everyone else, it's just right for me..." ( Unless it's Raining, or Cold, or Really Dirty or there are Sappers, Man I hate those Guys...) Marine X
Hardship Posted July 29, 2020 Posted July 29, 2020 See this thread for more info. I had an old machine giving this error, and was thinking of trying this to resolve it. I never did try it. Good luck to you if you try! 1
