    I'm trying to install Google SketchUp. When try to use it, it doesn't select things right and the cursor isn't alligned with where I'm clicking. There are other problems too.

    I presume I have to download some sort of package to get it to run right. On the SketchUp homepage it says that I need "OpenGL 1.5 compliant graphics card and drivers", but I don't know what that means. Can anyone help me out?

    which version of windows
    what computer do you have - make and model

    in control panel open display and look for a name in there like ATI / Nvidia or similar

    I have Vista Home Premium and the computer is a Toshiba Sattelite A200-180.

    I couldn't find anything about ATI or Nvidia, but is this the same thing?

    Thats integrated Intel graphics, very basic, maybe its not OpenGL 1.5 compatable, you tried updating drivers? Visit the toshiba site, support & drivers, enter laptop model no and download the drivers...

    it works with older embedded chipsets so should work with that too

    I found two drivers suitable for my laptop, "Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for Windows Vista * 32 (exe)" and "Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for Windows Vista* 32(zip)". How do I find out which one to download?

    Either... The EXE one might be slightly larger but wouldn't require the file to be unzipped... Both will work though ;)
