Determining user's capabilities

I want to know if it's possible to determine the user's capabilities before trying to create IrrlichtDevice.

For example, I run a OpenGL program on one machine but on another it fails to run (because the graphics card isn't OpenGL compatible)

Therefore, I need a way to check what interfaces (OpenGL, DirectX, or others...) the program can use.

How do I check this??

If you create a drier and it returns 0 it is not supported. Simply as that. For more specific features there is a feature check inside the driver you can query.
What gfx card is not capable of doing OpenGL?
