[SOLVED] Grafics card error

[omidtoroghi]

Hello, I'm trying to run the SketchUp 2020 software in my laptop which has an intel i5-M480 processor. The graphics card is Intel(R) HD Graphics and I'm using Windows 7 Home.

When I try to run the software it gives me the error that it needs a graphics card and/or graphic card's driver that supports OpenGL 3.0 or greater as my current OpenGL version is 2.1

Is there a way to update my graphics driver to support OpenGL 3.0?

P.S. My laptop is a Vaio Sony VPCEA44FX.

You don't actually have a graphics card, you have integrated graphics which is part of your CPU.

I would start by opening Device Manager-->Display Adapters-->Right Click on Intel--->Update Driver Automatically and try and let windows find the latest version. If that doesnt work then you will need to go through the links I provided and download and install the the driver manually instead of using the automatic feature of Windows.
