Is this officially dead? I installed an HD7870 from using an GTS 450. The GTS 450 was working, the HD7870 is not for my code.

I'm using GLEW and now I'm crashing on every openGL call. GLEW also comes with glewinfo.exe, that ouputs a file listing all extension support, it states that ALL extensions are missing (glGenBuffers, glUseProgram .....everything).

I'm going to put my other card back in to make sure this is the problem. Anyone know whats going on? Old card is GL 3.2, this one is 4.2. Deprecated? Is the backwards compatability official gone?

No. Those extensions are not even backwards compatibility issues. Are you sure you've got proper drivers installed?

Ha, just came back to delete this. Yea I forgot I installed the drivers on Win7, but I'm on XP 64. Was wondering why dragging windows was all laggy. lol I knew what I was asking made no sense.
