Hi Richard,
Your video card is fairly old and it doesn't support the extensions used
by the new version.
The 2.0 Surface LIC in PV 4.1 is a true parallel implementation and has
additional requirements compared with the original serial code. However,
there are no exotic requirements, all have been adopted into the OpenGL
standard many years ago. So most recent hardware/drivers will provide
the required extensions.
NVIDIA's spec
sheet(http://developer.download.nvidia.com/opengl/specs/g80specs.pdf)
doesn't show support for GL_ARB_depth_buffer_float. Based on the info
you provided that's my best guess as to what's wrong. However, I found a
mention( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeForce_8_Series) that the new
drivers for the 8 series support OpenGL 3.3, which includes floating
point depth buffer. Updating your driver may resolve the issue.

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:

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
