World Map Problems

Anuko World Clock uses OpenGL advanced graphics to display interactive world map. This works smoothly for most users. If you see a problem with the world map please check the following:

• The most important step is to make sure you have installed the latest manufacturer’s driver for your video adapter. Check Desktop Properties - Settings - Advanced - Adapter - Properties - Driver to see the currently installed driver. Video drivers are often problematic, and installing the latest driver from your hardware manufacturer may help. We have seen many problems resolved instantly after simply installing the new driver. Note: you will need the latest driver made by your video card manufacturer, rather than a default Windows driver provided by Microsoft. The driver made by the hardware manufacturer will fully utilize the capabilities of your video card.
• Is your video mode set to 32-bit (TRUECOLOR)? Right-click on your desktop and select Properties - Settings - Color quality, and make sure it is set to 32-bit.
• Is your hardware acceleration set to full? Right-click on your desktop and select Properties - Settings - Advanced - Troubleshoot - Hardware Acceleration and make sure it is set to Full.

If the above does not help you may have a card that does not support OpenGL at all.

To disable the world map, remove the file called mapgl.dll from the Anuko World Clock installation directory (C:\Program Files\Anuko\World Clock\ by default). This will cause the software to function without the interactive world map. You will still be able to select different cities for your clocks using the city database. Note that when you delete the map any software update will recover it. Consider either disabling checking for updates in Anuko World Clock in such case or re-deleting the map file after each update.

After installing the new driver for your video card and a rebooting your computer, please make sure to REINSTALL Anuko World Clock to see if the world map starts working. Please contact you hardware manufacturer for assistance and directions on where to download latest video drivers.
