Yes, I have tried installing the latest driver for my graphics card but Nvidia seem to think I don't have the correct card. It is a Nvidia GeForce FX 5600XT. Also once it said it could not run "DLL".
Alot goes wrong with my computer.

Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied
Yeah I've realised the problem and it's kinda stupid! The computer actually has no graphics card . Oh well, just have to get one, got any suggestions? (Preferably not the very high-end ones)

You would have no video at all if there wasn't some form of hardware to handle the task.
Is the graphics card built onto the motherboard?
What make & model is your computer or motherboard?
Yes, there is some sort of graphics built into the motherboard, but obviously not a very good one. I'll try to find out what make, just give me a sec...*smashes computer with a hammer* Thanks for the link, I will have a look once I've got this open *wrenches cover off with a crowbar*

So, for all Laptop users out there. If your vendor (Dell, Clevo, Fujitsu, whatever) has own drivers for the graphics card - don't use Nvidias (or ATIs) own drivers. Most vendors have changed drivers (unfortunately in most cases very restricted and old drivers) to match the needs of this specific machine, but they are preventing from burning your computer and are (hopefully) good enough to play Oolite! This is completely different from Desktop machines, so be warned!
I've updated (for testing) my own Laptops and I have to say it looks a bit better, but the performance is lower and the heat has raised - so I reverted to the vendors drivers. Your first adress for updates should be your vendors homepage, specially if you don't want to lose the warranty(guarantee).
Exactly that happened a few minutes ago when I clicked on the icon for MildAudio OXP, thus starting the game
(it had come up in the "Finder" window I was using to see if the OXP was hidden somewhere else as well as in the AddOns folder: it was. I had clicked on the one not in the AddOns folder).
I hadn't intended to actually start the game. It works ok now, though; don't know if this is any help?
