Focus on Bee-Bot uses OpenGL graphics to generate the 3D views. Graphics cards and drivers vary enormously in their ability to handle OpenGL. With the vast majority cards there is no problem, but a few cannot handle OpenGL graphics and the 3D animations will not run. To fix this the MESA 3D library is provided as an alternative to the OpenGL library that ships with Windows. This effectively by-passes the hardware acceleration on the graphics card. The drawback is that the animations will run slower and the quality of the graphics is slightly reduced. This is why this extra file is not installed by default.
To install MESA library, do the following:
Manual installation
The above process can be carried out manually. Copy the file OpenGL32.dll
from the MESA_6_2 folder on the CD to the same folder as the executable file
Beebot1.exe. If you accepted the install defaults, this will be Program
files\Focus-ES\Beebot1
N.B. This file must be in the same folder as the executable file Beebot1.exe.
This is not the same as the OpenGL library with the same name that ships as part of windows and must never be put into the Windows\System32 folder.
