It looks like an issue that has surfaced in a few cases.
@radiance has said the next version of the demo out soon wont use extensions so it will most likely run for you then.

In the meantime to help debugging what is your graphics card, driver and O/S please?

HI guys,

Yeah this seems to affect a handfull of people.
Can you please post an overview of your installed drivers ?

right click on desktop -> Nvidia control panel -> Help -> System information
then take a screenshot of the tab with all the driver versions installed...

I am sorry to tell you that the Quadro FX1500 isnt a Cuba capable card.
It is based on the Geforce 7900.
You will need a later card.
Have look at the list in GPU/Video forum for Cuda enabled cards - the slower and less suitable cards for Octane are noted there too.
