When I try to open Illustrator my screen goes black.

I am trying to use Illustrator 2021 for the first time and every time I open it my computer screen goes black. Using Control Q allows it to quit. I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it and that did not help. I have a video of it happening if that helps? I am using a Macbook Pro. Thanks!

you probably have an imcompatible graphics card and you have graphics acceleration selected.  you can check the supported video cards here, Adobe Illustrator system requirements
