[Paraview] Error while launching Paraview (and Paraview Web) in Window 10

[Cory Quammen]

Hi Depobam,

Thanks for trying out the other ParaView versions. I suspect there
might be a problem with the new OpenGL backend on your system as that
has changed between ParaView 4 and 5. What kind of graphics card do
you have on your system. You can get some of the display properties by
going to

Settings -> System -> Display -> Advanced display settings -> Display
adapter properties

Ken,

Are there any things Depobam can do on his Windows 10 system to help
diagnose whether the OpenGL2 backend is causing the crash he is seeing
in ParaView?

Thanks,
Cory
