I cannot start Autodesk Navisworks on my laptop.

With the default graphics settings, Navisworks might not run properly on a computer with a graphics card that does not properly support OpenGL.

It is neccessary to set (switch off) the hardware acceleration before your start Navisworks.

Run the "Option Editor": Start > Autodesk > Navisworks > Option Editor. Expand the item "Interface > Display" and uncheck the option "Hardware acceleration". Save the changes and run Navisworks again.
