Premiere Pro CS5 – OpenGL Driver error (Nvidia)
I have been experiencing the following problem constantly while editing this specific project in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.
While editing and playing or scrubbing the timeline (even in 1/4 resolution), I get the following error like every 5 minutes which is really annoying:
NVIDIA OpenGL Driver
“Your hardware configuratin does not meet minimum specifications needed to run the application. The application must close. {;ease visit nvidia…… Error code: 7″
This does not happen in other projects on the same PC with same setup. I must add that I don’t use PSD files that often for text overlays but have done it before without any problems – this is the 1st time I am using it on clips which have been green screened.
This project consists of the following:
2 green screen clips (1080p from Sony EX3 and Nikon DSLR mov files) edited – presenter giving lecture. I am overlaying some text from Photoshop (psd-files) over these clips (have done it before in other projects with no problems). Both clips have been colour corrected (three-way colour corrector) and I have used 8 point garbage mat to assist with green screen masking.What can be wrong? I have installed the latest nVidia Drivers, rolled back to older driver version with no success.
I have read somewhere that one should set the Power Management Mode in the nVidia Control panel settings to ‘Prefer Maximum performance” from adaptive. This did not help.
Basic Setup summary:
Motherboard: Asus P6X58D-E
i7 CPU (Intel)
12GB RAM
Windows 7 Professional 64bit
Adobe CS5 Production Suite (Premiere is version 5.0.3)
Graphics Card: nVidia GTX470I have been using this setup for more than a year and this is the 1st time I am getting this error. This does not happen in other projects – only this one…any ideas?
If I switch GPU acceleration off (in Project Settings – to Mercury Playback Software only), the error does not appear. So it is something to do with GPU (OpenGL as error states). This is a workaround while editing but not ideal to work like this!
Anybody experienced the same?

I had this problem after reinstalling premiere on a system that had been running perfectly for months.
System: ASUS P5KPL-AM EPU / Intel Core 2 Duo E7500 / NVIDIA GeForce GT 240 / 4GB DDR2I tried re-installing a clean; Win 7 64bit, Premiere CS6, + Nvidia drivers again from scratch but same problem.
I found a simple solution that may help others:
If you have an integrated graphics motherboard the system allocated memory (mine was set at 8MB) it might be clashing with the Nvidia card’s faster memory and causing a Open GL conflict.
I opened up the BIOS and set shared integrated memory to 0MB and after the restart everything worked great!
Hope this helps
