Hello Everyone,
I’m using a dell D830, was using windows XP then upgraded to Windows 7 64 bit. In XP I was using Google Sketchup with no problems then when I moved to Win7 I could not use the OpenGl hardware acceleration. The solution to the problem was to actually turn ON windows AERO. Then everything worked. I guess for some reason if the user turns of aero the OS just assumes you don’t want to use hardware acceleration or something. Anyhow I hope this helps someone and maybe save a few people the days it took me to solve.

I have a video card ATI Radeon 9550 / X1050 Series. I use Win7 x86. Tell me a driver to run OpenGL, please!

Im also have 2 laptops using the intel 945 series (and 32 bit and 1 64) and the built in driver for windows 7 (1.0 prerelease lacks opengl so is very slow and many games wont play.)
I was successful in installing the vista driver for both 32 and 64 bit versions by changing the compatibility mode for the setup file. Prior to that both installers said os not supported.
