I found a custom driver for GMA4500MHD maintained by some third party. It may be worth a shot, but be prepared you may run into issues. Be sure to enable system restore before installing the driver and it is advised to uninstall any drivers other than the windows default driver before installing this custom driver.

@mandoju: applied that setting and started openMSX (using Catapult). It works perfectly. And my PC is old, it is a Dell Vostro 460 with a GT440 (running Windows 10 21H1 64bit). 16GB of RAM and SSD though

My conclusions,

The Openmsx 17.0

- Works perfect in my three Dell´s desktops with Gforce 330 and OpenGL 3.2, all with Win10 21H1 (64bits) fresh install.

- Works perfect in my main work Dell desktop with Gforce 330 and OpenGL 3.2, with Windows 8.1 (64bits), the best
Microsoft operational system.

- Working perfect in my laptop Dell Vostro 1014 with Win10 21H1 (64 bits) OenGL 1,1 after the soluction below.

Can you try to edit your settings.xml file in your user folder (in "Documents/openMSX/share" I believe) and add in the settings section:

" SDL "

Maybe your previous install you also set the renderer to SDL a long time ago (or even some older version of openMSX set it to SDL). When you upgrade openMSX the setting is kept but with a reinstall of Windows it is lost.

Normally, if no OpenGL 2 support is available, there will be an error. But apparently the system accepts creating an OpenGL 2 context... But it doesn't work properly. Looks like a driver bug to me.
