Sketchup 17 won't run - it needs Hardware Acceleration

Up until a month ago, Ver:7 has been working perfectly.
Now I’m getting
“Hardware acceleration has been disabled…”
and wont proceed.
I rule out Windows Updates as I uninstalled recent ones.
Has anyone else had this probled?

Control Panel/All Control Panel Items/Device Manager

This is your graphics-card…

e.g. It might say something like ‘NVIDIA GeForce GT 610
Note down the exact details.
Then you need to go to the NVIDIA web-site and download / update that specific driver…
Don’t rely on Windows to auto-update your GC-drivers !

Sorry, off topic but how do you do that scrolling text @TIG?

Formatted with ‘code’ block…
