open gl support on windows 8 - developer preview

[navendugoyal]

Tried installing angry birds for pc on windows developer preview

it installs fine but doesnt run

can someone help me

it gives the error that open gl is not supported

what does it mean

Have you installed additional gfx drivers? It's pretty likely that MS doesn't include OpenGL drivers - think they stopped a while ago to do that?

[navendugoyal]

No

havent installed any additional drivers

everything working out of the box

audio , video etc.

The same angry bird for pc works fine on my windows 7

so seems a windows 8 issue only .

any way to resolve it because i guess otherwise many apps wouldnt run on this version of windows 8 .

Doesn't work on my Windows 8 computer either.

I'd say that Microsoft's - generic - drivers don't support OpenGL?

As other said, the class drivers likely only support DirectX.

You should be able to use the Windows 7 drivers from ATI, NVIDIA, Number 9, Hercules, or whatever you have. :p

its an intel board on my laptop

nothing else

everything is working fine without hiccups but this angry birds game which i love a lot

so the issue stands

Try installing the Windows 7 drivers for your graphics card as Greywolf said. If that doesn't work then for now you can't have your Angry Birds game on Windows 8. You'll have to wait for Intel to release drivers for Windows 8 with OpenGL support.

well you need to install video drivers. since these drivers are only to make Windows 8 work, not to play videogames and such. its not like angry birds its a super videogame... but oh well, i dont care and you understand my point haha

but for example AMD gave an "Engineer sample" but if you install Amd catalyst you will see how it doesn-t support the video card. its only about my processor since i got amd 1099T

when i installed video drivers now i got everything i would expect from the drivers. so yeah you need to install video drivers because these drivers aren't complete, are just generic, just to make windows work.

Does anyone know where I can find the proper driver for OpenGL support on the Samsung dev preview slate? I tried the latest Intel Graphic HD driver and it would not install. Trying to get Minecraft working.

Thanks,
