Error 1001

My game was running fine last night windows did an update and now all I keep getting is

 

could not start the renderer

please ensure your display is set to 32 bit color. [1001]

 

I checked and it is set to 32bit so why will it not work????

Re: Error 1001

if you do this, does that mean your games progress will not be saved?

Re: Error 1001

I just tested on my 7670m and it still works...

 

I'm gonna take a stab at this say try to disable CCC.

 

Go to start, run, type MSCONFIG, disable Catalyst  (if you have anything else that looks graphics related disable it, mine just has Catalyst)

you can also hit WindowsKey + R then type MSCONFIG

 

Maybe set it to 16bit color, restart, put it on 32 bit, I do not know what is happening here.
