How do I fix OpenGL error in GenyMotion?

I went to intel website and updated the drivers as per the needs from there. Once your driver is updated to the latest, try to restart the system and restart the GenyMotion. That should resolve the problem.

I had this problem. In my case (I use windows 7) I went to Device Manager -> screen adapter and with right button I updated the software. fix it. It works.

I don't know how to update openGL library

First things first, OpenGL is not a library. It's a drawing API for talking with the graphics drivers to make the GPU do nice things.

As such, OpenGL comes as part of the graphics drivers. Unfortunately Microsoft decided that they don't like OpenGL and would not ship drivers fully equipped with modern OpenGL profiles through Windows' built in driver update mechanism. Oh, yes, they added legacy support for OpenGL-1.4 (which was specified in 2002), thank you very much.

So you have to take things into your own hands. First step: Go to the control panel and open the Hardware Manager. In the section "Graphics Cards" you'll find the name of your GPU. Most likely it will be made by one of Intel, Nvidia, AMD or ATI.

Depending on who made it you can find the drivers on

  • Intel: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/default.aspx
  • NVidia: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx
  • AMD and ATI: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download

Select the drivers appropriate for your system, download and install them.

or how to check current version.

Since OpenGL is not a library the truly limiting factor is the GPU in your system. If your GPU doesn't OpenGL-2 you're SOL. However you'd have a really, really old GPU for that and Windows-8 would not even boot on a system with such a GPU that old. Update your GPU drivers and you should be fine.

If your driver is intel, it is now easy to do installation or update through out Intel's auto update tool, it is really easy to setup and update. however if yours is amd you could check their detection tool which is provided by amd. nvidia is also providing their driver's update tool.
