Title: org.lwjgl.LWJGLException: Pixel format not accelerated
Post by: swuth on August 06, 2009, 17:43:03
On some machines the Java console spits out this error when starting our game. Not sure what the problem is. Any one have any ideas???

org.lwjgl.LWJGLException: Pixel format not accelerated

The card is an nvidia 7800 card. Game runs fine on most of the other machines.


Cheers

Make sure the computer has the NVidia drivers and not the Microsoft reference drivers.

What pixel format are you requesting?

Some of the players of my games get this error too.

Are you sure that updating the graphics driver the only problem?

could also be because you are requesting unreasonable format details

Hey guys,

I'm no game-developper or anything, but when I start Minecraft, I get the same error.
I have an NVIDEA GeForce 9600 GT... Just so you guys know...

Thanks, bye!

you need to update your drivers, go to the Nvidia site and download the latest drivers for your card.
I have the same card and it works fine.
