When I tried to run an Open Inventor program on my laptop, I got an Inventor error “choosePixelFormat failed”. What do I do?

This error indicates that Open Inventor did not find a pixel format that is suitable for Open Inventor graphics. (See other FAQ question that explains the requirements of a “suitable” pixel format.) This error occurs more commonly on laptop computers and almost never on regular desktop computers. It’s a possible indication that the OpenGL support is less than robust.
