Opengl errors are down to your graphics card. Update your graphics card drivers to most up to date

i did

It seems that many have been having this problem lately.

Follow the instructions below

1. Use the uninstall option of the catalyst driver package that was linked (http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop/legacy?product=legacy2&os=Windows%208%20-%2064) to remove all AMD components from the computer.

2. Use the install option of the catalyst driver package to do an Express install of the driver.

3. Change the display adapter to use the new driver:
a. Navigate to device manager (Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Devices and Printers > Device Manager)
b.Navigate to Display Adapters > ATI Radeon HD 3200 Series
c. Right-click on "ATI Radeon HD 3200 Series" and open "Properties".
d. Click on the "Driver" tab and click on "Update Driver".
e. Select "Browse My Computer for Driver Software".
f. Select "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer".
g. Select "ATI Radeon HD 3200 Series" (the one without "Microsoft Corporation...").
h. Click "Next". The driver should start installing and your screen should flicker a few times.
i. Click "Close".

If the above steps did not work then try the instructions in the spoiler
