Hi,

You can use mesa3d to provide a newer OpenGL version. This allows computers with Intel graphic chipset or old NVIDIA graphic cards to use applications requiring OpenGL 3.

This workaround works with Salome Platform (which includes Paraview), so it should work for Paraview too.

- Download Mesa3d for Windows:  
[https://github.com/pal1000/mesa-dist-win/releases/](https://github.com/pal1000/mesa-dist-win/releases/)

- Extract it (either with double-click or right-click 7-zip)

- In the extraction folder of Mesa, go to x64, select and copy opengl32.dll

- In the extraction folder of Paraview, go to the bin folder and paste opengl32.dll

- Double-click on paraview.exe

Now Paraview should open without error.
