Not Ok to Install

If the Point-HD Validator tool displays any other message other than "You are OK to Install" thisnormally indicates that the Graphics hardware in the computer cannot fully support the requiredlevel of OpenGL extensions.

Things to try if you get the above error.

1. Update the computers Graphic driver and then retry the validation, in most cases a driver updateinstalls the required level of OpenGL support. Remember to reboot after a driver install and beforeyou re run the validation.

2. If the validation still fails, then you can try to change the Graphics adaptor in your computer (werecommend NVIDIA graphics cards over ATI or Intel), this is only possible if you are using a desktopor workstation type of PC where the graphics card can be updated.

3. If you are using a Laptop, then you can't change the graphics hardware and in this case you caneither try to contact the laptops manufacturer to see if they have an updated driver, failing thatyou may have to upgrade to another machine that has the required graphics capability.

Laptop manufacturers often do not have updated drivers when the model of laptop has beensuperseded, even though the Graphics chipset manufacturer has more up to date driversavailable. In most cases you will find that downloading an updated driver from a graphicsmanufacturer won't install on your laptop. This is often because the manufacturer of the laptop isusing an OEM version of the drivers.

AT YOUR OWN RISK

If you feel brave enough, it is possible to modify the .inf file which will then allow you to use amore up to date driver obtained from the graphics vendor.

If you browse sites such as LaptopVideo2go.com and read the forums or section regarding INFEnhancer this will point you in the right direction as to what is required in order to modifystandard drivers and use them with laptops.
