Newbie Question: Problem running LWJGL example

[nech_neb]

Hi All,

I've downloaded the LWJGL package from the site...
and I'm trying to run the examples using way suggested
in the read me file. I added the libaray paths in case
they needed to look for the dlls

But I get the following error message

C:\Ben\lwjgl-0.6>java -Djava.library.path=C:\Ben\lwjgl-0.6 -cp .;examples.jar;lwjgl.jar; BitmapFonts

java.lang.Exception: Problem starting loop
       at BaseWindow.start(Unknown Source)
       at BitmapFonts.main(Unknown Source)
Caused by: java.lang.Exception: Problem initialising Lesson
       at BaseWindow.createGLWindow(Unknown Source)
       ... 2 more
Caused by: java.lang.Exception: Mode not supported by hardware
       at org.lwjgl.opengl.BaseGL.nCreate(Native Method)
       at org.lwjgl.opengl.BaseGL.doCreate(Unknown Source)
       at org.lwjgl.opengl.GL.doCreate(Unknown Source)
       at org.lwjgl.Window.create(Unknown Source)
       ... 3 more

What is Causing this?
Does my Video card not support OpenGL ?  
That would be kinda messed up.....

Any help would be appriciated.
Thanks in advance.

If you upgraded to XP, it's a possibility.  MS decided they no longer needed to provide software support for OpenGL in XP.  Make sure you've downloaded the latest driver.  Most companies have updated their XP drivers to support it.
