Problem with OpenGL
Hello everyone,

after some time I have installed Sweet Home 3D again.
Now I get when I start the program the error that I need to update the driver of the graficcard.
My problem is now, that I have updated the driver and I get the error also.

This is my system:
Windows 10 Education 64-bit
CPU: Intel i7-4790K
RAM: 16GB
GPU: Nvidia GTX-970 Driver Verison: 417.35
JRE and JDK Version: 1.8.0_191

I have also tryed older versions of Sweet Home 3D, there I got the same error.
Moreover I have tryed the executable jar version. If I run this from the commandline I get the following error:

javax.media.j3d.IllegalRenderingStateException: Java 3D ERROR : OpenGL 1.2 or better is required (GL_VERSION=1.1)         at javax.media.j3d.JoglPipeline.setupCanvasProperties(JoglPipeline.java:8090)         at javax.media.j3d.JoglPipeline.createNewContext(JoglPipeline.java:6439)         at javax.media.j3d.Canvas3D.createNewContext(Canvas3D.java:4612)         at javax.media.j3d.Canvas3D.createNewContext(Canvas3D.java:2386)         at javax.media.j3d.Renderer.doWork(Renderer.java:881)         at javax.media.j3d.J3dThread.run(J3dThread.java:271) Error in Java 3D : 3 Renderer: Error creating Canvas3D graphics context

I have also reinstalled java (jre and jdk), the driver of the graficcard and all nvidia software, which I have found on my system. I don't know which more software I need to reinstall.

I have no problems with minecraft which is also running with java and OpenGL.

Does anyone have an idea, who I can fix the probleme without an windows reinstallation?
