My video card is only supporting openGL 1.1 which is preventing me from playing openGL games that requires 1.4 and higher. I have an ATI Radeon x1600 512mb video ram, 2gb ram, 2.4GHz AMD Athlon. While trying to play an openGL game demo, I had received this message:

Can anybody help me solve this issue?

I already tried reinstalling my video card drivers, cleaning out fragments left by other video card drivers with Driver Cleaner. Are there any other suggestions?

Those cards SHOULD support OpenGL 2.0, so I'd check to make sure you have the latest DirectX installation. Even if you have 9.0c, Microsoft releases new revisions every few months with minor changes and fixes. I think the latest is for December 2006.
