All of my drivers are up to date, but I still get the folowing error when starting Adobe Illustrator/ Premiere/ AE/ etc.

When I click fix, I'm advised to update my drivers, but like I said all of my drivers are updated to the latest version:

Please help

 

PS I also have Gforce 1050 graphics card, which also runs the latest drivers.

Hi there,

 

Thank you for reaching out.
If you're getting this error with Nvidia graphics card. Please check out the latest version of the driver on https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us & see if you have any new version available.

If you do not see any update released within a year, then NVIDIA probably has discontinued releasing updates to your driver which is a bit old and either you can update the card or switch off this reporting via preferences.

Thanks a lot! 

I checked my video driver, it is Intel HD Graphics 630 and it's not on the supported list. May I ask if you have any suggestions on using the software with this driver? Is it going to impact the quality a lot? (Currently I have no plans to buy another laptop) or shall I use an older version of illustrator (if that's possible)?

If you ignore the report and continue using Illustrator, do you experience any further problems?

Hello I am re-installing AI on my HP laptop and getting an error message about my Intel 520 graphics card which is totally up to date. 

 

AI works on my back up Lenovo but my HP is actually the better of the two laptops. What is the issue? 

 

Thanks in advance, Pia

Hi. Go to Help > System compatibility report and share here the result. That should give us an idea of the issue.

Also, you can try to disable "GPU performance" in Preferences > Performance.

If you are reinstalling AI 25.2, then there is a new preference in the general list about unsupported video cards. You can turn off the warning there. If it was working before then it will probably continue to work.

Does Illustrator work?

 

If it does, just ignore the message. In Preferences >General you can turn off the system check altogether.

Sì Illustrator funziona per il momento. Quindi l'unico suggerimento è disattivare le notifiche?

Grazie

I am also having the same issues and cannot even see a jpeg or png when it opens.  Just a gray screen view.  Has anyone had any luck in solving?

helloes,

having the same problem, incompatible drivers, after update to 25.2 and onwards Illustrator is slow, doesn't work well, hangs and seldomly crashes. Reverting to 25.1 solves all the problems.

 

Fun fact (25.1):

mareks91824553_0-1621265905909.png

 

Also worth noticing that lenovo won't update drivers every month like nvidia does and using non-vendor ones causes all sort of problems.

 

Also also don't you think that CC being used in corporate environments shouldn't cry at me when my drivers are not even a year old and card has enough juice to do much more complicated operations than Illustrator preview?

The “Unsupported Video Driver” error message suggests that your current graphics driver is not compatible with Premiere Pro. An outdated or faulty video driver could cause this problem. Or, in some cases, Premiere Pro fails to recognize your driver which is actually functional, and thus triggers the error.

 

Hope This Helps,

Peter
