      Compaq 8510W
      Winxppro32. HP8510.
      100gb 7200rpm drive.
      Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T7500 @2.20GHz
      2.0gb memory
      NVIDIA Quadro FX 570M

      I installed Wine.
      I installed Sketchup.
      I tried to open Sketchup's desktop icon as "Administrator" but Mint did not respond at all.
      Usually Admin is preferred when licensing a product.
      I simply opened Sketchup as with left click, licensed it, and proceeded to choose template.

      Sketchup was unable to initialize OpenGL!
      Pleas make sure you have installed the correct drivers for your graphics card.
      Error: ChoosePixelFormat failed.

      My card has the most recent driver.

        you need to change the windows registry (google search for "sketchup openGL wine")

        If you get the error "SketchUp was unable to initialize OpenGL!], run regedit, open [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\SketchUp6\GLConfig\Display], and change "HW_OK" to 1.
