# Workspot Windows Client: Bypass Hardware OpenGL

OpenGL (Open Graphics Library) is a cross-language, cross-platform application programming interface for rendering 2d and 3d vector graphics.

- Recommended – From the command line, install from the EXE:

WorkspotInstaller.exe /**UseSoftwareOpenGL=true**

- If Workspot is already installed, you can switch it to software opengl as follows:

- Exit Workspot

- Run the following command:

%localappdata%\programs\workspot\workspotclient.exe --InstallUseSoftwareOpenGL

- Restart Workspot

--OR-- to go back to using opengl

%localappdata%\programs\workspot\workspotclient.exe --UninstallUseSoftwareOpenGL

- If you are using Kiosk mode, or really want to install for all users, you can include the following:

msiexec /i WorkspotSetup64.msi BZ.FIXED_INSTALL_ARGUMENTS="/LOG=c:\install.log /**UseSoftwareOpenGL=true”**
