Hi All,

I'm wondering if anyone experienced problems with Paraview on a Windows 8 laptop. I downloaded and installed versions 5.6, 5.5, 5.4 and 5.3 and none of them work on my computer. Versions 5.6 and 5.4 show a message 'paraview stopped working' before the software even starts and 5.5 doesn't display the file (show a black screen where graphic should be displayed). I managed to get a 5.2 version working but was wondering if anyone else experienced this problem and might have a different solution?

Thank you

Craig Warren

Hi Olga,

Windows 8 is not a version I routinely test - we mainly focus on Windows 10. Since this sounds mainly like an issue with Paraview, I suggest you might post it on their forum for a more speedy answer - https://discourse.paraview.org/c/paraview-support

Kind regards,

Craig

This might be due to Paraview dropping support for older openGL Versions lately.

I had this problem sitting at an old Geforce Quadro that only supported 2.2, had to upgrade to a better card.

You either are lucky and there is more recent drivers that include OpenGL 3.x or you are out of luck and have to keep older versions.
