Installation

:display:wgldisplay(error): SetPixelFormat(57) failed after window create
:display(error): Window wouldn't open; abandoning window.
:ShowBase(warning): Unable to open 'onscreen' window.

    raise StandardError, 'Could not open window.'
StandardError: Could not open window.

My setup:
Windows XP SP3
Directx 9.0c
Color Depth: 32
This Config.prc edits didn’t work:

  • load-display pandadx9
  • depth-bits 1
  • color-bits 1

There is something else I can try??

hm i can just guess. but “wgldisplayerror” indicates its still set to openGL.
i’m not an expert when it comes to windows and dx stuff. but dx should not throw an opengl error.

btw. it’s easier to work out sollutions for a problem if all information regarding a specific problem is available in one thread.
