Hello everyone!
I have an Acer Aspire A515 laptop that I have been using Illustrator on for more than a year now. There were no issues all year long, until the recent week where I would get a pop-up during launch where the error message states that I have an unsupported video driver.
I tried to use the Intel driver and support assistant to check for any needed updates but there were none related to graphics. I am not a very techy person so I would greatly appreciate if anyone can shed some light on this issue. I can launch Photoshop just fine without this error popup. Does this means that I need a better graphics system (new laptop) to run Illustrator from now on? Thanks a lot in advance! Any help is appreciated.
