Hi Richard,<br>
<br>
Your video card is fairly old and it doesn't support the extensions
used by the new version.<br>
<br>
The 2.0 Surface LIC in PV 4.1 is a true parallel implementation and
has additional requirements compared with the original serial code.
However, there are no exotic requirements, all have been adopted
into the OpenGL standard many years ago. So most recent
hardware/drivers will provide the required extensions.<br>
<br>
NVIDIA's spec sheet(<a
href="http://developer.download.nvidia.com/opengl/specs/g80specs.pdf">http://developer.download.nvidia.com/opengl/specs/g80specs.pdf</a>)
doesn't show support for GL_ARB_depth_buffer_float. Based on the
info you provided that's my best guess as to what's wrong. However,
I found a mention(
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;
charset=ISO-8859-1">
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeForce_8_Series">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeForce_8_Series</a>)
that the new drivers for the 8 series support OpenGL 3.3, which
includes floating point depth buffer. Updating your driver may
resolve the issue.<br>

On Windows Vista 32 bits with NVIDIA graphic card GeForce 8700M
GT, the PV 401 LIC plugin works fine, but the PV 410 LIC plugin
gives always this error:

I have seen in the "Tools->Manage plugins" menu that the LIC
plugin Version is 1 in PV 401 and 2 in PV 410. Does the Version 2
work only with recent drivers ?
<br>
<br>
My NVIDIA driver version number is 7.15.11.7626 from 2008. Two
years ago, I tried to update it with a version that was
recommended by NVIDIA (296.10) and that should be compatible with
my old graphic card, but some of my graphic codes have shown some
artifacts, and I had to return to the old driver. So it would be
fine if I could use a LIC plugin without changing my driver. I
tried to replace the Version 2 LIC plugin of PV 410 by the
Version 1 LIC plugin of PV 401, but I did not succeed.
<br>
<br>
Best regards,
<br>
