Question

When I open Gephi I get the following error message:

"Your OpenGl version (1.1.0) is too low to display the graph. Update your graphical drivers or configuration."
Current hardware:
Microsoft Coporation
GDI Generic
Version;1.1.0

I am running Windows 8, and my graphics card is an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5000 Series (Microsoft Coporation -WDDM v1.20). Apparently, this graphics card has support for OpenGL 3.2 (Driver info)! Trying to solve this, I googled and came across this: link1. It isn't very helpful to me because after I disable the driver signed I don't know which driver to download!

  1. How can I update my OpenGL version (or whatever is really causing the problem) so that Gephi works?

If you need any more information about my system, let me know!

Was it helpful?

Solution

Gephi reports your current hardware as "GDI Generic", not the radeon hd 5000, so I don't think you have the correct drivers.

Try using the drivers from amd and see if this will fix it. http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx
