Corona for dummies

Hi. I am totally new to coding and I don’t know where to even start. There must be people out there that feels lost too.

Hi. Thank you. How do I set my pc up to be compatible to Corona? I have an error message ‘Need openGL 2.1 or higher’. I tried to download it from the internet but when you open the sites they advertise you other stuff.

Try updating your video card drivers

Can you operate Corona on a laptop?

You need to update your video card drivers like JonPM said. What video card do you have? Do you know how to check?

Yes you can operate Corona on a laptop. Can you tell us your specs?

Thanks!

Where and how do I see the specs on the laptop? I managed to download corona but then I cannot continue as it indicates I need openGL 2.1 or higher.

Open your computers “Search” bar and type in “Device manger” then look for “Display adapters” and double click on it. It should now tell you what you have.

It indicates that I have a intel® HD graphics.

Which exactly do you have?

This thread might help you.

Version 10.18.10.3374

No. Like “intel HD graphics 4000”?

Where do I see that?

Nvm. Let me see if I can find you and update.

When I press on the update button it shows that it is up to date

What Windows are you running? Usually Windows will tell you it’s up to date when it’s really out of date. They have terrible update checks. Worst case though is that you have an older graphics card that can’t be updated anymore.

I have windows 7 ultimate

Open your computers “Search” bar and type in “Device manger” then look for “Display adapters” and double click on it. It should now tell you what you have.

Can you do that one more time? Can you take a screen shot of what the display adapter says?

There is no function here to send pictures. It only show share on facebook or twitter.

I have opened it again but it does not indicate 3000 or anything. When I click on driver it just shows the version, provider, date and signer

If I can e-mail you on your private e-mail then I can send you the pics.
