No graphic after slicing and while printing

Hi, just installed Repeteir-Host on an Atom powered, Lenovo, 64-bit laptop 4gb-memory and win7.pro and all up to date. When I load the .stl I can rotate it, move it etc and all works as expected. After slicing with any of the three slicers I do not get a graphic. The sliders will move but nothing shows. When I send it to the printer it does not show the build in progress. What do I need to do to fix this?

    DO you have 'filament' highlighted.  top left of RH

    Yes, but I found a checkbox in the Preferences to turn off something or other for the graphics. Checked that and got the display back, but man, I do not know what Graphics Library they are using for Repetier-Host, but it is abysmally slow. I see why they have the checkbox option. I am running FreeCAD quite comfortably on that laptop and no graphics problem.

    Make sure you have OpenGL 1.5 or higher and select VBOs for rendering. That is the fastest sollotion you can have and it is generally fast. But a print has much more triangles then a simple freecad image.

    Thanks, v3.6 all video drivers up to date You are not forgetting the Mesh Workbench in FreeCAD, are you? {grin} I'll live with it as it is though, do not have the time to spend on messig with it.
