When I compile run some the tutorial code I will often get a BSOD with a KMODE_EXCEPTION. I''m running Windows 2000 on a Gateway Solo laptop with a S3 Savage/IX video driver. Any thoughts about what I can do?

Have you tried to upgrade your drivers ?
You might also want to test with OGL games like Quake 3 to see if they crash too.

I looked into that, but apparently there were no upgrades for my driver. I have the problem with even some of the simpler tutorial programs, like Lesson 2. The crashes don''t occur every time I run the program. Also it seems to depend on whether other programs are running which might indicate some sort of memory issue; however I have over 500 megs of memory so I would be surprised if this was the issue. I don''t think the Savage/IX was meant for heavy duty graphics, but again even the simplest programs can cause the crash. Is it just pointless to attempt to run this programs on my laptop?
