But on the Mac, I can't reinstall graphics driver. How can I deal with it?  Thanks.

Re: unable to init GPU-based renderer error on Mac

All this is beyond my knowledge.
That link is about "webdriver", not sure it's really equal to graphics card driver.
And it's seems more about "update", not any specific "reinstall" steps.
The results that I search all saying that graphics driver is build in mac os, I can't remove it or simply download and install it.
I believe there's always a way to hack around, but what I want it's a simpler way to do that.
I'm not expect to messy all the command line with my computer after I purchase SVP.
So if there a way to solve it, please provide it for me or add into manual. Otherwise, please give me refund.

Thanks

Hey, Chainik, thanks for the link. I download and install web driver with below and install successfully.

However, the error remain the same, what else could I do?

thank you
