[franwil]

Hello,

after actualisation on Windows 10 cant start SL (SLViewer, Firestorm, Catznip) on my computer because "should not have last version of video card drivers". I have videocard Intel G41 Express CHip Microsoft COrp. WDDM1.1 (this i did find in PC), i actualised it over Intel-web sites, but its the same... Can somebody help me, what should i do?

Thanks, Francine.

i'm affraid you will have to go back to your previous OS, even Intel doesnt give W10 drivers

or new machine... more up to the task of SL.. can't imagine you had good results with that graphics also before you updated.

You didn't give us enough information to know what you can do to correct the problem. Use the viewer's HELP->ABOUT.... to collect your tech info and include it with your questions.

If you are using a desktop, you can easily add a third party video card. NVIDIA 760 and 780 cards are very good and also really cheap, especially on eBay. If you aren't a computer-DIY type most computer stores will sell you and install a video card.

If you are are a DIY type, I am writing a series on the best current hardware and what factors affect SL performance. See HARDWARE
