Installing the ROON software results in a message: “GL_ARB_framebuffer_object OpenGL extension is required. Your OpenGL drivers need an update or video card is not supported.” I am using an Acer Aspire 1810T. What do I have to do? Pieter

Ah. If your music collection fits comfortably on 1TB, I would separate them: SSD for OS (+ Roon database); HDD for music files. Almost the same as my own setup (I have SDD internal + 2TB HDD external via Thunderbolt), which runs fast & stable.

Hi Roon, I have “OpenGL 3.0” error on my Lenovo X301 laptop that prevents Roon launch. How do I fix this error? I tried Intel Driver Update Utility, but it runs into an “unknown error”, too. A dead end? Thanks. Maxim

Hello @maxim , Roon requires OpenGL 3.0 and according to tech specs your laptop has an Intel GMA X4500 which supports only OpenGL 2.0. You can try to install RoonServer and control it over Phone; Tablet or another PC with a modern hardware. Regards, Vova

Vova, Thanks for the advice, this might work. Where do I find a description of RoonServer? maxim

@maxim , You can find the description here - https://kb.roonlabs.com/RoonServer You can download RoonServer here - https://roonlabs.com/downloads.html Cheers
