Hey Charles !
Both your Graphics Card itself and the graphics drivers must run on at least OpenGL 2.0.
If the chipset is still on 1.x and not 2.0 capable, you'll need to buy a new graphics card.
If your graphics driver is just not up 2 date, find the driver for your specific OS and graphics card and install it.
Does this make it clearer ? Please let me know if you have more questions !!
Good luck !
Matt
We are having the same problem. We have the Nvidia FX1800. When we install and run the Open GL test program referenced on the Esri CityEngine site it reports that opengl 3.0 is installed. When we install and run CityEngine we receive the same error referenced above.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Samantha ..
* Can you try and set the Windows color depth to 32 bit [if it isn't]
* Is it a desktop or laptop ?
If laptop :
- Does it have an onboard graphics card ?
- Can you deactivate the Windows power save mode to prevent the onboard graphics card to be actually used ?
* Otherwise, if you have multiple monitors, use just one ?
Please let me know ..
Matt
