Rhino 7 Evaluation Keeps Crashing While Opening

Rhino Rhino for Windows
1

Hi guys, greetings to you all
Ive been getting crash everytime I open Rhino. It seems that Rhino forced using the primary display adapter, rather AMD. I tried to use AMD Control Panel by set the Rhino into High Performance. But it still keeps crash.

The only way I could open Rhino 7 was if I disable the Intel HD Graphics, Rhino will open normally. But, however, my laptop is lagging when I disabled the Intel HD Graphics.

Ive searched whole topic here, but it doesnt solve my problem. For example: disabling the V-ray could run Rhino normal. But my V-ray plug-ins werent there.

Heres my SystemInfo I provide to you all:

Your video drivers are both extremely out-of-date, and your system really doesn’t meet minimum specs for Rhino 7.

Hi @JimCarruthers thanks for your answer

Yeah, I have an old laptop, probably around 10 years.

Actually, it runs normal before I clean uninstall Rhino. Unfortunately, I uninstalled it because there was an issue that EnergyPlus couldnt integrate with Grasshopper plugin.

Nevermind, after two days out of frustration, and recently asked to this forum, I solved it myself (:

I disable the integrated graphics then turn enable it again. Then I also disable the AMD driver on device manager, and turn enable it again. Restart my laptop, then its come back together. Rhino runs normal now (:

However, theres a slight difference SystemInfo from above I post recently:

Well you should still try to find video driver updates, if they even exist.
