How do I resolve "advanced graphics rendering error" prompt?

I recently installed the Feb 2015 commercial version of MATLAB with my work, but several local errors keep occurring, meaning I have the latest version of MATLAB of all my coworkers and only my PC is affected. The following warning usually shows up when I display certain images, plot data, or run certain scripts that have pictures:
Warning: MATLAB has disabled some advanced graphics rendering features by switching to software OpenGL. For more
information, click here.
When I click "here", it takes me to the "Resolving Low-Level Graphics Issues" documentation. So I ran
opengl info
and got the following:
Version: '1.1.0'
Vendor: 'Microsoft Corporation'
Renderer: 'GDI Generic'
MaxTextureSize: 1024
Visual: 'Visual 0x23, (RGB 24 bits (8 8 8), Z depth 16 bits, Software, Single buffe...'
Software: 'true (known graphics driver issues)'
SupportsGraphicsSmoothing: 0
SupportsDepthPeelTransparency: 0
SupportsAlignVertexCenters: 0
Extensions: {3x1 cell}
MaxFrameBufferSize: 0
So OpenGL is installed, I just don't know how to resolve my known graphics issues. It's not interfering with my work (yet), but I would like to know how to proceed. Thanks in advance

I also have the same issue. Did you get a solution
Do you happen to have Intel HD2000 graphics? That board does not support advanced graphics features.

Just making it better to understand what ChiHsien wrote:
For just one instance:
opengl hardware
To save it for future instances of Matlab:
opengl('save','hardware')
I had the same issue. I think this helped. I no longer see the warning. Thank you both for the answer and the comment.
i had the same issue too, and this helped me ,and no longer see that, thank you
On Linux "opengl hardware" could not be used.
But using "opengl('save','hardware')" and restarting Matlab solved it.
Thanks!
