Strange operation after new install

JoeMickleyJoeMickley
in Repetier-Host
Downloaded and installed Repetier-Host V2.1.6 on a new machine running Win 7.  Had previously run it on a machine with WinXp with zero problems so I knew what to expect starting and running the program.  

Started it for the first time, getting a very strange appearance.  Program launches but the viewing pane on the left side never seems to load or update.  Loaded an stl file, it doesn't show up.  Open a setup window, close it, part of the setup display stays in the left pane.  Nothing I can seem to do changes or updates that left pane from whatever the last thing I did that overlaid that window. 

Example: File>load>somestlfile.  File loads, cura engine will slice it but the left viewing pane still shows apart of the load directory window after loading.  

Example: Click on the temperature curve tab brings up a temperature window. click on 3D view tab, nothing changes.  Last op still owns the window.

The log file scroll at the bottom doesn't seem to be generating error messages.  

Sorry if the explanation seems a little strange but the operation is strange.  Ask some questions if that will help and I will try to look for stuff.

    Further info.  Just downloaded and installed on a new Win10 machine.  It appears to be working correctly.  Loads a file, shows it, left window seems to all work right.

    Please check the log. I assume you are missing a OpenGL driver. Sounds like always when OpenGL should show up nothing is updated, so that is the logical explanation I guess.

    Completely unistalled the original, did an install, launched the program.  Got the following in the log window (Cut/paste into notepad, copy into here):

    Problem is still there exactly as before.  I don't see any error messages in the log but that is a lot of info so there may be something there I can't recognize.

    I'm quite sure minim required version is 1.5 for full operation. So try if you find a newer graphic driver. 1.5 is from 2003 so any newer driver hopefully already supports it.

    Just opened the copy of Repetier running correctly on my Win10 machine and looked at the startup log.  The log shows:
    06:33:55.909 : OpenGL version:4.5.13399 Compatibility Profile Context FireGL 15.201.1151.1008
    Definitely have a much newer one on this machine.  I will run that down and post a reply after I test it.

    Add to my education.  Where did that OpenGL package come from?  Was it installed as part of the Repetier download, resident as part of the Win7 install, or downloaded after the Repetier install at the request of the installer?  I assume resident from Win7 but would like to understand it better.  Also, any suggestion for a source for the OpenGL package update would also be appreciated.

    Further information:  This is a dead end.  I find that the Intel chipset in my unit is not validated for OpenGL beyond V1.3.  In short, I can't get there from here.  I am going to change my plan and run from the Win10 machine which works fine and has the necessary OpenGL driver.
    Thank you for your time.
