ok i found the problem with my rgb values so there fine now,

its just my geometry that isnt showing up

ok another fix if my own logic, seems that it is drawing the geometry but once the geometry gets a certain distance away from the "camera" it dissapears.. now i dont know whats causing this and im hoping its something simple

heres the source, i just added wsad and zx to move the white square in the viewport but once the white square gets any more than 2.0f away from the "camera" it dissapears..
cheers for any help

well i found what i''d done,, seems when i butchered nehe''s code i forgot to take the resizeglscene function he''s made and thats kind of important, everything works fine now cheers to the people who posted :O)
