OpenGL Drawing

Gues what everyone! CS4 doesn't run off your processors like its predecessors once did. This beast uses your Video card(s) and speaks through OpenGL. Unfortunately if your processor doesn't speak OpenGL CS4 doesn't work. Unless you download the Bios changes that are available to enable older GPU's (video cards) to communicate through OpenGL. If that doesn't work perhaps you already tried to download the latest drivers for your GPU (not a bad idea even if you're not using CS4), and if that doesn't work there's another download from Adobe that might help. If none of those things work? Two options. Turn off OpenGL Drawing under "Edit-Preferences-Performance", or, update (aka replace) your GPU, as turning OFF OpenGL limits your functionality of CS4 making it less worth the upgrade and more worth just keeping CS3...... Unless you need excuses to get upgrades on your system, in which case buy a whole new system with a new and support graphics card. If you're in that category and need excuses to spend money on a new system, might I be your excuse and you can spend it on one for me?!? lol
