Flowcode 9 crashes

As a new user, I have just installed Flowcode9 and Toolchains for 8bit PIC and AVR/Arduino.
This is running under the 30 day trial license
I then applied Library updates.
When I try to create a new Project, Flowcode crashes with this error:
wglGetProcAddress("wglChoosePixelFormatARB") failed
It doesn't make any difference if I select different devices.

Hello,

Does this crash prevent Flowcode from working or is it just a message that appears which can be ignored?

This is a known issue that has been covered on these forums a number of times, for example here:
https://www.flowcode.co.uk/forums/viewt ... ?f=3&t=766

There is advice in that link. And other posts regarding this issue can be found by searching this forum (via the quick links menu above) and also the older Flowcode forums located here.

HTH,
Steve.

Hi,

In my case the application crashes and is unresponsive, and can only be closed by ending the task in windows.
I have changed the graphics engine setting, and this has resolved the issue.
Clearly I didn't search the forum very well. Thanks for your help!

That might be on us - the search is a bit hidden. I'll see if we can make it more visible as it is with the old forums.
