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!

Answer 1

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
