Stellarium

OpenGL 2

Asked by Lee

Hi,

Since upgrading to Windows 10 on my desktop Stellarium isn't working. The following message appears when trying to open it:

No OpenGL 2 found on this system. Please upgrade hardware or use MESA or an older version.

It has always worked perfectly fine until I upgraded to Windows 10.

I've applied updates on my desktop to see if this would resolve the issue.

Any help would be appreciated.

Kind regards

Lee

You need install drivers for graphics card.

I have the most updated drivers for the graphics card.

I have tried installing earlier versions of Stellarium and it still won't open. It's very strange as it worked perfectly fine before upgrading to windows 10.

Are you using drivers from Microsoft? If answer "yes" then then drivers didn't work properly, because Microsoft made limited support for OpenGL. You need drivers from manufacturer of graphics card.

Lee,

Did you resolve your "no opengl 2" problem? I have the exact same problem as you ... word for word. And I updated the drivers direct form The Intel G41 Express Chipset site, but to no avail.

John,

No I never managed to sort it out.

After trying several things to resolve this I gave up in the end. You can appreciate how long it takes to install and uninstall and update drivers etc.

Hopefully I will get it resolved one day.

If you manage to get it sorted please let me know how you did it.

Thanks
