Disable OpenGL

For systems that have problems running non-game OpenGL applications you can disable the previews in 3D IMPACT! Pro to resolve these problems

This will turn of all shaded previews in 3D IMPACT! Pro but will allow our software to run using these video cards. These problems are caused by the video card drivers. Please consult with your video card manufacturer to obtain OpenGL ICD drivers. If disabling OpenGL solves your problems, you should contact the manufacturer for more information.
