I have some problems with installing the OpenGL driver.

I have the NVIDIA Geforce GT 630M graphics card, but when I run my programs, i get the following error:

Unable to create OpenGL 3.3 context (flags 0, profile 1)

On the website, it says that I should be capable of using OpenGL up to 4.1. (But currently it can only support OpenGL up to 3.1.)

Whenever I try to download drivers I get errors. I tried downloading this driver, but I get this error when I try installing it:

NVIDIA installation program could not continue.

This graphics driver could not find a compatible graphics device.

I've solved nVidia OpenGL compatibility problems using GLView. It will help you to identify any compliance issues you have with your driver and also facilitate updating drivers.

  • I have downloaded GLView now, and according to the program I am using Intel(R) HD Graphics Family. I tried downloading the driver for this (downloadcenter.intel.com/confirm.aspx?httpDown=http://…) but it says it's not compatible.

  • I figured out how to get and install the latest driver, but it says the latest driver is already installed. But according to GLView, it isn't. I get this message from GLView: " OpenGL driver version check (Current: 3.1.0 - Build 8.15.10.2418, Latest known: 8.17.13.142): Outdated version of display drivers detected According the database, you are might be not using the latest version of display drivers for your video card."

    Ah, then your notebook (I assume) is actually using the on-board video card and not your actual NVIDIA GPU. Just check your manual to find out how to switch between the two.
