first off, "show graphics" is enabled for every task.
win7/64 bit.
intel video card.
cosmology, einstein, and seti @home + world community grid.

it simply REFUSES to display graphics, just text and there's nothing in the messages saying there's a problem.
it's a new install.... graphics were running fine on my laptop, but like i said... no errors in the messages about it.

any ideas?

Drivers.
The graphics are OpenGL, which isn't enabled by default drivers (installed by Windows) as it's a direct competitor to Microsoft's own DirectX. So you need to install the drivers from the Intel site.

Go to http://downloadcenter.intel.com/, follow the options for "Find downloads by product name", install those drivers. Or tell us what kind of Intel videocard (or -chip) you have and we'll try to help.

thanks for the response.

unfotunately, stupid device manager only tells me "intel(r) hd graphics" and that the driver VERSION is 8.15.10.2119. =/

What kind of CPU do you have? i3, i5 or i7?

Hold on.. you can use http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/detect.htm to install the latest drivers, just in case.

(Or this link for all Intel chipset drivers).
