No valid pixel format?

[Orangy Tang]

I'm getting an exception while creating a display on one person's machine:
"org.lwjgl.LWJGLException: Could not find a valid pixel format"
( full exception here: http://mishu.eu.org/paste/view.php?id=3464 )

This occurs with both the no-arg .create() and with a pixel format (set to all zero). The graphics card is a GFFX 5200.

I'm not entirely sure what the problem could be. As far as I know it can do other 3d apps ok, and I don't see how i could make my requested display any simpler. Could someone fill me in as to why this could be happening, and possible fixes? Cheers.

I assume you have run other OpenGL apps?

The basic NeHe spinning cube works, so I assume theres GL drivers installed (although I admit of knowing no good way to test that, especially when you only deal with someone via email).

Annoyingly the space invaders app from the lwjgl demos section doesn't work, and apparently doesn't give any kind of error dialog.

Any suggestions of things to try?

Do you use Windows Vista?
Since I installed it, i get the same error.
The same after reboot.

run some more of the examples and demos from the command line - throw in a -Dorg.lwjgl.util.Debug=true for more output

Ok. I installed the latest graphic drivers - and it works
