After an otherwise smooth transition from windows 8.1 to Win 10 on my Dell E6400, OpenGL applications stopped working.
Stellarium relies on OpenGL |
"Intel 4 series Express Chipset Family" adapter that has gone out of active support for quite a while.
After some failures, I found a surprisingly simple solution:
This Win7 driver from the Intel download center installed without any issues and brought OpenGL back at an (for this system) acceptable speed.
OpenGL is back - and so are the stars. |
While a slightly newer installer (Win7Vista_64_151719.zip) refused to run on Win10, this one (Win7Vista_64_151717bb.zip) did.
I will probably have to prevent windows from updating that driver in the future.
20150824 Adendum:
The sound output of the docking station wouldn't work either. Replacong the IDT audio driver with the standard high-definition audio driver fixed that.
