Hello, i am using the apprentice version of Houdini at the moment. But after i installed and opened houdini it showed a lot of black on my viewport. Is this a familiar problem?

I've add a screenshot at the attachment.

What graphics card do you have? Have you read this?

I've read that, but i didn't look at the graphic card. I thought it would be good enough. But how can i check which card i have?

At requirements it says: “Integrated Intel graphic cards are not supported”

Is an: Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU E2200 A 2.20 GHz one of those?

It's your processor.

You can find the information about your graphic card directly in houdini.
Just go to menu bar ‘Help > About Houdini…’ and click the checkbox ‘Show Details’, you can find info about your OpenGL render like in the attached screenshot.
