Writing BrainBay to file, alternative to GUI not working on older Dell

I have had success connecting the Ganglion board with BrainBay and can see my EEG data in oscilloscope etc. I am using BrainBay because the OpenBCI_GUI does not work on my older Dell laptop. I want to write my EEG data to a file in BrainBay. I have used EDF file writer but all I see are NULL values. Any advice on how to write a file in BrainBay?

LJ, hi.
Are you referring to a 32 bit laptop, which might not run the standalone GUI? You may be able to run the GUI by building it with the Processing IDE,
https://docs.openbci.com/docs/06Software/01-OpenBCISoftware/GUIDocs#running-the-openbci-gui-from-the-processing-ide
If you are working with BrainBay, that means the OpenBCI GUI 'Hub', binary, is running ok on your machine. It's also possible you may have graphics chip OpenGL driver issues. (If the GUI screen is not displaying properly.) Check with the Dell site on how you can download updated compatible graphics drivers.

I have installed the Processing IDE. It doesn't work either on my machine 64 bit Windows 10 Dell. I get the following error when I try to open the openBCI_GUI
When I read that forum I found the following comment:
Anything to add?
The message seems to say your OpenGL driver (from Dell), is not functional. Did you search their support site for a download of a new graphics chip / card driver?
Windows 10 works fine if you have current drivers from your hardware manufacturer.
I always suggest a "clean install" when going from Windows 7 to Windows 10. That way you get the latest hardware support.
That quote you mentioned, is on this issue page from 2017. Windows 10 at that point was only in the second year of release and not all apps and drivers were adapted for it.
