Does OpenGL require drivers? R/C sim that I can't open and get "Warning:No Open GL graphics card driver found

The question stems from a new R/C model plane simulator that I have loaded but can't get it to play. I also get a pop up message that says "USB interface cable. Areo Fly Proffesional is unable to locate the USB interface cable. Please plug the interface cable into a free USB port" (It was plugged in)

What type of graphics card do you have? if you dont know and you are using a PC, follow these instructions:


open -START-


select -CONTROL PANEL-


open -PERFORMANCE AND MAINTENANCE-


open -SYSTEM-


click on the tab labled -HARDWARE-


select -DEVICE MANAGER-


there are about 17 things listed including the name of your computer. the name of your computer will be similar to XXXX-7C60552B9E (the x's can be any letter) and underneath are folders like "computer" "disk drives" "display adapters" etc. select "display adapters" by clicking the plus sign next to the name (looks like [+]) and double-click on whatever shows up underneath of "display adapters" to find out information about it. Once you get the name and other info about it google it and find out what is wrong or go to atari.com to find out if your R/C sim is malfunctioning. I hope this helps!
Reply:You need to find out what type of graphic card or onboard graphics adapter you have and find out if it supports opengl. It sounds to me like it doesnt. Once you find the graphics adapter, check out the mfg website and see if you have the latest drivers installed.
Reply:You probably need a new/compatible graphics card, i had the same problem, because my pc is old.
