This system doesn't support shaders

[videogame57]

I get the "This system does not support shaders, update your graphics drivers" error on startup.
I most definitely support shaders, 10 Unified, Shader Model 4.0.

Algodoo used to work under Windows 7, but no longer functions and gives me this error under Windows 8 Pro, I tried compatibility mode to no avail.

try to download older drivers, intel is a poor company for driver support

Algodoo uses OpenGL to draw scenes. The information provided by GPU-Z regarding DirectX is useless in determining if your computer can run Algodoo.

According to the Intel website, 4 series express chipsets only support OpenGL 2.0, and Algodoo requires OpenGL 2.1

After a Windows-update about October 2024 my pc no longer supported shaders. Has to do with opengl. I searched and found opengl32.dll with about 19209 kBytes and put it into the folder, where algodoo.exe is found on my pc. Now it works again!
