...This package supports apps that use OpenCL version 1.2 and earlier and OpenGL version 3.3 and earlier.
I was unable to find the minimum OpenGL version required. As far as I know it is the Coin library which needs it, and there I found no minimum version either. According to https://www.coin3d.org/Coin/html/libraries.html, Coin dynamically reacts to the version.

I made some other changes. I resized some of my display settings and that helped.

Thanks for all your help. Very much appreciated. Your one comment (OpenGL issue) gave me a direction to go in and that's helped a ton. So thanks again.

I believe FreeCAD supports OpenGL at least back to version 2. However, version 4 has been around since 2010. There may be some features in FreeCAD that do not work as expected when using a compatibility package that only supports version 3 and earlier.

Is there a more up-to-date compatibility package?

More than a problem with the version of opengl that is supported it's probably just that the compatibility layer isn't that good, tbh that fact it runs at all is already impressive so don't expect wonders!
