Hello I have been playing Spiral Knights on an older laptop and today got an HP pavilion dv7. Graphics card is amd hd radeon 6490M. 8GB Ram, quad core that runs at 2.3. When I try to start the game I get the above error message. The screen looks like it is changing from its default 1600x900 resolution to a much lower resolution and back again.

I have re-installed the drivers, java, and the game several times, checked for a firewall, didn't see anything. When I looked at the system registery I followed the path but there was nothing in it.

Please help, thanks.

Thanks!

When I updated my drivers before I uninstalled them and then my PC automatically updated them upon startup. In looking for the answer to the above question I found the version and below that was a button that said update drivers. I gave it a shot and it updated the drivers from 3/12/11 to 4/12/11 and I tried it out and it worked!

Thanks so much for your help!
