    Color error with Decklink 6.3 drivers-Unable to initialize OpenGL. Make sure video desktop is disabled

    Posted by Kishore N. chabria on July 7, 2007 at 7:32 am

    Hello friends,

    I get the error “Unable to initialize OpenGL. Make sure video desktop is disabled” on launching Color on my MacPro Dual 2.66, 1GB RAM, Decklink HD Extreme, FCS 2 and Decklink 6.3 drivers. The moment I remove the Decklink 6.3 drivers Color works perfectly.
    Anyone else faced this issue or have solutions?

    Thanks and warm regards from India
