Only two options here:
1. find newest driver for your graphic card and update. (which works only if driver is new enough to contain OpenGl 1.2)
2. obtain new graphic card.

Do you have Radeon X7200 or Radeon 7200 card? ...For the later there is Catalyst 6.11 Display Driver for Windows XP Professional/Home Edition available on ATI web site. Its from Nov. 2006 so it should support OpenGL 1.2.

That is the driver I am using.
it will not support any of the directx shading, either.

I am wanting a newer/better card anyway....
till now have not had a reason to buy one.

thanks

Please note that the version check reported a wrong value in the last Irrlicht release. There is the actual version also printed, which one is it?
