[Paraview] LIC plugin version 2 of PV 410 Windows 32 bits fails : unsupported NVIDIA card driver ?

[Richard Grenon]

Hello,

On Windows Vista 32 bits with NVIDIA graphic card GeForce 8700M GT, the 
PV 401 LIC plugin works fine, but the PV 410 LIC plugin gives always 
this error:

> ERROR: In 
> C:\DBD\pvs-x32\paraview\src\paraview\VTK\Rendering\OpenGL\vtkTextureObject.cxx,

I have seen in the "Tools->Manage plugins" menu that the LIC plugin 
Version is 1 in PV 401 and 2 in PV 410. Does the Version 2 work only 
with recent drivers ?

My NVIDIA driver version number is 7.15.11.7626 from 2008. Two years 
ago, I tried to update it with a version that was recommended by NVIDIA 
(296.10) and that should be compatible with my old graphic card, but 
some of my graphic codes have shown some artifacts, and I had to return 
to the old driver. So it would be fine if I could use a LIC plugin 
without changing my driver. I tried to replace the Version 2 LIC plugin 
of PV 410 by  the Version 1 LIC plugin of PV 401, but I did not succeed.

Best regards,

Richard
