Hi
I have a Win 10 laptop with intel HD 3000 video graphics -Video bios 2089.11
My older laptop had to be replaced as it failed to comply with the new OpenGL graphics required for version 5 and above
With Pano2VR Pro version 5 we get full functionality without problems.(5.0.PNG)
But in version 5.1 Beta though it doesn't crash out, the primary viewing window fails.(5.1.PNG)
This means that although you could make a tour you would be doing so blind with no idea where hotspots would be.
Hoping this glitch will be looked at during Beta testing. Many thanks.

Have you tried setting the driver to allocate all resources to Pano2VR?

Doesn't seem possible..... I have lenovo think pad X220 model 4291 and dell latitude E6220 laptop with similar graphics - intel 3000 *( no longer supported with updates). So I'm looking at a mac mini with intel 4000 graphics but don't know if it will work. Is there a list you have from your extensive beta testing of graphics cards/chipsets that will work with the new updates ( 5.1 and above) so we know what hardware upgrades we need to do when we buy the next generation of software. We need to have some sort of compatibility chart in order to plan our hardware purchases. Many thanks

Hi!
I have the same issue here, too. I use a Dell Latitude E6520 with intel HD 300 graphics.
Unfortunately allocating ressources does not fix it.

Could you tell me which OpenGL version ist needed from version 5.1 onwards?
In the FAQ section you wrote install older/ newer / different graphic driver. I am not an expert on that so I could need a little dummy-proof help :)

Meanwhile I will try downgrading to version 5.0.

Thanks,
Anne

Pano2VR 5.1 required OpenGL 2.1 (released 2006). Can you please download Pano2VR 5.2beta2b ? This version will show more diagnostics.

You can download the latest driver for your graphics card from http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ ... -3000.html
