Well, just set up a VM with W7 on it and RS launches up in safe mode, any idea how to get openGL working? Will appreciate the help, thanks

VMWare Workstation?

goto settings > Display > enable accelerate 3D Graphics

If you are using VMWare, installing VMWare Tools could also fix it.

"VMWare Guest Additions" is an extra package required for hardware acceleration.

As those have said above, with VMWare you need to install VMWare Tools, that's really it.

If you're using Oracle VM Box, I've had quite a bit of trouble getting DirectX or OpenGL working.

Can anyone here link me to a VMWare installation? I wasn't using it & there's like 40 different copies

Here you have a free trail on VMware version 11: http://www.vmware.com/products/workstation/workstation-evaluation

If you want full version, you either buy it or get it somewhere else ;)
