I just downloaded and installed FreeCAD

Still having trouble? What computer? What operating system? How old is it? FreeCAD ought to be pretty tolerant.

Its a Dell Re-furb. I put a new Solid State drive in it a couple of years ago.. I'm not sure about the age but it is windows 10. Yes I am still un able to use freecad. I posted a message in the comments on one of the videos Adventures in Creation. I think it was part #3

Where did you download FreeCAD from?

I'm not sure. I followed the link from one of Mr Petes videos.

The official download of FreeCAD can be found at: https://www.freecad.org/downloads.php

All other sites may not be legitimate. I suggest you completely uninstall your copy and install FreeCAD from the link above. Maybe you got a buggy or incomplete download.

A lot of legitimate repositories still have older versions as well. I second @WobblyHand 's suggestion, it's the only way to ensure that you've got the latest and greatest. (Although some of the latest and greatest looks a little different than the release candidates used in the tutorials mentioned.)

I did the driver update last night and it said my drivers are the most current version. so now all I need to do it to figure out how to un-install the copy I have.

You might try re-booting first before doing an un-install- just to be sure

OpenGL 1.1 was released in 1997 and replaced with 1.2 in 1998. Opengl 2.0 was released in 2004. If this equipment will support win10, it should have no issues with a much newer GL.

I've done both but thanks for the help
