I am trying to install genymotion,after pressing play button it shows the following error.

I don't know how to update openGL library or how to check current version. Can anyone help me?

Answer 1

I don't know how to update openGL library

First things first, OpenGL is not a library. It's a drawing API for talking with the graphics drivers to make the GPU do nice things.

As such, OpenGL comes as part of the graphics drivers. Unfortunately Microsoft decided that they don't like OpenGL and would not ship drivers fully equipped with modern OpenGL profiles through Windows' built in driver update mechanism. Oh, yes, they added legacy support for OpenGL-1.4 (which was specified in 2002), thank you very much.

So you have to take things into your own hands. First step: Go to the control panel and open the Hardware Manager. In the section "Graphics Cards" you'll find the name of your GPU. Most likely it will be made by one of Intel, Nvidia, AMD or ATI.

Depending on who made it you can find the drivers on

• Intel: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/default.aspx
• NVidia: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx
• AMD and ATI: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download

Select the drivers appropriate for your system, download and install them.

or how to check current version.

Since OpenGL is not a library the truly limiting factor is the GPU in your system. If your GPU doesn't OpenGL-2 you're SOL. However you'd have a really, really old GPU for that and Windows-8 would not even boot on a system with such a GPU that old. Update your GPU drivers and you should be fine.

I had this problem. In my case (I use windows 7) I went to Device Manager -> screen adapter and with right button I updated the software. fix it. It works.

Answer 3

If your driver is intel, it is now easy to do installation or update through out Intel's auto update tool, it is really easy to setup and update. however if yours is amd you could check their detection tool which is provided by amd. nvidia is also providing their driver's update tool.

I was facing same issue. And I have no Graphic card. I just Installed one driver And it solved my issue. May be It helps some one. I just downloaded Win32_152820.exe from https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=23376

Answer 5

I too faced the same issue during my times. Please follow these :

1. Check your video card details through ControlPanel --> Device Manager --> browse over the net to update the driver related to that.

2. Alternatively you can also search in Google about the CPU you have in your system and install related drivers from the internet. For e.g., I've Intel CPU G2020 Dual core 2.9GHZ. I went to intel website and updated the drivers as per the needs from there.

3. Once your driver is updated to the latest, try to restart the system and restart the GenyMotion. That should resolve the problem.

Kindly Note that, unless your CPU and Graphic card supports Open GL, you cannot use it. FYI - all the recent chipsets are supporting Open GL by default for sure. So, Go for It!

Another option you've is letting the Windows wizard to find the drivers suitable for your cards but that may not work some times. So, do the above steps as guided.
