Graphics card error

Hello! I came back on SL after 2 years and recently i changed my windows. After i install the viewer i run it and it gives me an annoying error about my graphics card driver. Before i had Windows Vista and the viewer worked fine with no errors.

buy a new machine....

 

your graphics chip is 9 yrs old

your processor 11 yrs old

be happy it worked al this time, i'm sorry but it's time to say goodbye

you could try a less demanding 3rd party viewer like singularity... but still.. won't get really happy about the results

Alwin is absolutely right: you won't get happy with that machine anymore. When you get a new one, also do consider a proper dedicated GPU instead of an integrated unit.

However, for the time being, you should probably look at the Win10 Intel Fix guide at the Firestorm Wiki, which explains the driver issue with your old integrated chip.
