    I have a HP n5420 laptop and recently purchased
    Starry Night Pro software, I placed the software on
    an external drive but am unable to run it from my laptop
    due to a non-existing OPEN GL card.
    Can I upgrade my graphics card on the laptop to a OPEN GL
    card, and if so, which card would anyone recommend.
    Thanks

    Not possible.. The graphics card in your notebook cannot be changed.
