Enter as much information about your CNC hardware and software as you can - it makes it easier for everyone to know what you're talking about then.

Context errors are to do with OpenGL graphics card/driver errors.
eg, could also appear as "context not created"

1. Make sure your graphics card driver is up to date.

2. Upload the latest version from our website www.denford.co.uk -
latest versions have been fixed to work with the latest OpenGL version 2.xx

3. If all else fails - turn the hardware acceleration off in order to use the Microsoft software based OpenGL support - will be slower :(
