Lego Design By Me/Digital Designer problem

[jamzee]

Hi everyone

I've downloaded the Lego Design By Me software but when I try and run it it says there is a "graphics driver failure LDD has caught an exception in the open gl display driver and will need to close" and doesn't run - does anyone know if there is a way around this (without getting a new computer!)

Thanks for any help

What is your computer's specifications? i.e. Amount of RAM, CPU speed in GHz, etc? I hate to break it to you, but if your computer does not meet these system requirements:

Minimum System Requirements for PC

Operating system: Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7.

CPU: 1 GHz processor or higher

Graphics card: 32 MB graphics card (OpenGL 1.1 or higher compatible)

RAM: 512 MB

Hard Disk Space: 100 MB

Minimum System Requirements for Mac

Operating system: OS X 10.4 or higher

CPU: Intel processor or faster processor

Graphics card: NVidia GeForce 5200/ATI Radeon 7500 or better (not integrated)

RAM: 1 GB

Hard Disk Space: 100 MB

then you will not be able to run LDD on your computer and even if you do get it to run it will be so slow and glitchy that you will never want to use it. If this is the problem, upgrade your hardware.

Would be helpful to know your specs, please. Also, are you running an ATI card?

Try updating your GPU driver. It is opengl and I'd guess your graphics card either has the required 32 MB or is one of those that use RAM. So it should be fine spec-wise. Most likely it is your driver's version, just update.

thanks for the advice/replies everyone - I've done some investigating and found my graphics driver - went to Intel's website and checked and it appears there was a newer version. Downloaded that and now it works fine! Thank you!
