Windows 7 64bit and XBMC problem

Code:

Look at all them thar supported extensions. Notably missing is everything and specifically glActiveTextureARB(), which causes a crash on the very first Render() operation.

For the record, I get this insta-crash with W7's default ATI driver, the Windows Update ATI driver, and ATI's own W7 beta driver.

They jump around and don't happen when the program is locked (like when it is updating folders and such). Windows can do full screen in games or other programs. Any idea? Running the latest nvidia drivers.

NVidia GeForce 8800 GT
Intel Q6600
Windows 7 x64

and I get this flicker problem using ATI's latest Vista X64 driver.

Same results with 8.10 final, and Jester's latest Rev17036 build.

W7 X64 (beta release - build 7000)
ATI 4870
Asus P5Q pro

I have reviewed the prior mentioned information pertaining to running xbmc in Windows 7 x64. I am using a 9500M GS w/ 512mb dedicated video ram. I did upgrade from Vista SP1 to 7. I have re-installed the newest NVidia video drivers over the one's 7 installs. If I start XBMC and it is in Full screen mode, there are large black flickers jumping around the screen. If I switch to windowed mode, the flickering goes away. I have tried different resolutions and changing nvidia control panel settings. Is there a way I can watch my movies fullscreen again?

Same problem, and in Boxee. 181.20 forcewares, GTX 260.

Nvidia GTX 260 on 181.20 here, same problem.

I just installed the Windows 7 Beta 64bit (direct from MS) installed the nvidia driver from windows update and it works fine (in fullscreen) no tearing at all that I can see

In window mode it tends to stutter alot and use more cpu but my guess is thats the Aero interface and those small little windows being rendered slowing it down.

core2 6400 @ 2.13 with a nvidia 7100gs

here is a shots to prove I got it running

That looks like window mode. That works just fine for me too. It's in full screen that it is messed up.

lol guess you didn't read what I wrote proper

And yes I know the screenshot is window mode else you would not be able to tell its windows 7 it would just look like xbmc

@krill3
why are you opening a new thread, when there already is one ?

read first, then post, merging threads.

I've a problem too with Windows 7 and Xbmc. Crash at startup with fresh install of windows 7, ati driver for windows 7 (i have a radeon HD 4650)....

XBMC requires opengl 2.0 or it will crash at startup (not pretty yes but its what it does right now) if you are seeing this in the log

its obviously not opengl 2.0 its only 1.1 so not good enough
