Summary:
The WAVE Desktop app requires a computer (real or virtual) with support for OpenGL 2.1 or higher. Typically this is not an issue, but in some cases, a need arises to launch WAVE Desktop on computers with limited graphics options. A virtual machine (VMWare, VirtualBox) or a Server PC with limited graphics capabilities are typical examples where OpenGL 2.1 may not be supported. This article will help you overcome this limitation by using your CPU instead of a GPU.
Step By Step Guide:
1. Download the OpenGL 2.1 emulation by using the attached file.
2. Copy and paste the downloaded opengl32.dll file to the folder/directory where the WAVE Desktop executable is located.
3. Open WAVE Desktop.
4. Close the client after viewing to return your CPU load to normal.
