OpenGL Error problem

Anonymous — Sat, 08 Jul 2006 17:09:40 GMT

I have installed ArchiCAD 10 and cannot get a new project started. Right after the program loads and I select "New", I have the following error: An error occurred in the following addon: OpenGL

Regardless of what I do next, I continue to get this error, and I have to quit the program to exit the loop. What can I do to alievate this problem? Any help would be most appreciated. Thank you.

What hardware are you using? It is difficult to answer a question like this without such information. It is recommended to put this in your signature line.

An OpenGL error suggests a video card problem. It could also be a problem with the AC10 installation, but that seems unlikely

I have the same problem , somebody tell me that my display card is not well supported by OpenGL,because my display card is ATI,I dwonload a new driver from ASUS website,but the problem not resolved!
I found the problem is that my OS is Windows 2000,but AC10 only support WINXP. I have to change OS if I want run AC10.

Similar situation with Pentium 4 / Matrox Parhelia DL 256 MB PCI / Apple 30". Works fine with updated videocard driver of Matrox.

What's the use of specific Bios drivers and where can we look for some?

I tried ArchiCAD 10 on MSI radeon 9550 256 MB, and it doesn't work. No luck with the newest drivers from MSI and from ATI. What about flashing the bios to a compatible card? Do you think that can work because 9550 has the same chip as 9600 and according to Djordje it works with 9600.

I have the same problem with ArchiCAD 10 on ATI RADEON 9600 Video Card, I have resolved the problem halfway, i installed the drivers which came with the PC when i bought it, they are old versions but the program is running normally, but still if there are many 3d objects the program ceashes nicely, the whole windows is down, and i need to restart. The other thing i read in forums is to upgrade my mainboard but it is too risky. If someone has any suggestions thanks in advance.

I am having the same problem. "An error occured in the following Plugin: Open GL". Updated video driver and still doesn't work. Heres what I have:

ATI Mobility Radeon X1400
Dell Inspiron 9400
T2400 @ 1.83GHz
1.83 GHz, 2.00 GB of RAM
XP Professional

How come previous versions of ArchiCAD work with this setup but ArchiCAD 10 doesn't? Am I gonna have to replace my video card?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

PROBLEM FIXED!
If you are running a program called WindowsBlinds on you computer then you can't work with ArchiCAD. This program changes the look of your windows to a customizable look and somehow interferes with GDL in ArchiCAD. Uninstall WindowsBlinds or any other program that does the same thing and ArchiCAD should work for you. The video card I have listed at the bottom here works just fine with ArchiCAD.

Same problem was by me. I just unloaded WindowBlind, and AC worked.
If You have this windows addon, unload it or uninstall. Maybe it will help you too.
Thanks clinard!

seems that if you dont need the 'opengl 3d engine' you can switch to i'internal 3d engine'. in archicad 11 its done by switching it on from View/3D View Mode/Internal 3D Engine.

I had the same problem on archicad 11 and 12, I have a mobile intel 965 express chipset graphics card. I resolved the problem by uninstalling the driver, and installing the latest driver version from intel website. It might work for you too, good luck

Hi, I have never encountered this problem until today. I have a file that works fine as a solo project. I shared it with teamwork, and now when I try to do a 3D view I get the error message: "An error occurred in the following addon: OpenGL"
