WebGL error ussing google chrome in windows Vista

dias_rebelo

Hi, I have windows vista and I've always used chrome with ONSHAPE, but since today I can no longer see my drawings because it reports that WebGL is blocked. I tried firefox, but my screen background becomes black. Is there any way of solve this problem with chrome or with firefox?
Thanks

@dias_rebelo Unfortunately in April 2016 (now) Google is stopping support for Windows Vista so it is going to be very hard to keep that as your browser of choice. As for Firefox you might need to make sure your graphics drivers are patched (which also might be hard to find support) and see if you can force enable WebGL.

Type about:config in Firefox’s address bar and make the following changes:

• To enable WebGL, set webgl.force-enabled to true.

That is about the only solutions you will have at the moment without upgrading your Operating System to a more recent build.
