Topic: opengl error

so i went to use xyzware today, and got an error regarding opengl. has anyone else had this problem? i updated my video cards drivers, downgraded and upgraded the xyzware, and cant seem to get the program to work. if i have to i can just substitute the gcode on the sd-card, but id rather not have to do that. program seemed to work fine until i exported a part, and not a complicated part ether. has anyone found a way to get around this problem?

Re: opengl error

Yes, I am have same or similar issue.  Not necessarily an error since it still prints. but it is reporting that I have openGL 1.5 and it wants 2.0.  I should note that I am a brand new user and have not not seen this error.

Re: opengl error

yea, it's stalling out on me, but then again the part may be stalling out the program.

Re: opengl error

Been a long time since I used xyzware but if I remember correctly, it's a graphics card driver issue.

Basically, your card doesn't support the correct version of opengl.
