'PutImage' error in PTB3

>> GratingDemo
INTERNAL PSYCHTOOLBOX ERROR
error: Psycherror_OpenGL

When I run the GratingDemo, the 'PutImage' keeps showing errors.
Does anyone have a solution?

Thanks!

Almost certainly a graphics driver bug --> Update your
graphics drivers.

Dear Mario

I receive the same error message trying to run GratindDemo

INTERNAL PSYCHTOOLBOX ERROR
error: Psycherror_OpenGL
general description: OpenGL call returned an error
specific description: GL_INVALID_ENUM
module name: Screen
subfunction call: PutImage
file name: Common\Screen\SCREENPutImage.c
function name: UNKNOWN
line number: 245
??? Error using ==> Screen
(null)

Error in ==> GratingDemo at 158
Screen('PutImage', window, grayscaleImageMatrix);

I've updated my graphics driver. My graphics card is NVIDIA GeForce 4 Ti4200, 64MB. The driver is dated November 2006. I have to add that I used to run PTB on this machine, but I didn't use the machine for a while and my colleagues' used it. Now, I don't know what's happened to it. I've installed PTB3 on MATLAB 2008 under Windows XP OS. Would you please let me know what I should? Thanks.

Have a good time :-)
Amir

Sorry, but there isn't much you can do. It's a graphics driver bug, for a card that is old enough that NVidia or anybody else certainly wouldn't care about bug reports anymore. You can try to download and install different versions of the driver and hope one of them works. Or try to avoid using the function which causes the error.

Ok, maybe you can work around it.

Add InitializeMatlabOpenGL([],[],1); to the top of the script. Call gluErrorString() between each call to Screen() to find out, which function really causes the error and to reset the error state. Maybe silencing the error handling this way is enough and stuff will work despite the error.
