I was having some problems with C++ (it kept telling me my mysql files were not found, for some reason, and it told me to reinstall). So, I reinstalled Visual Studio 6. Now when I load up my current project and run it, my textures are terrible. Pictures that were very clear, are now very poorly displayed. This appears to be much worse on textures which have been changed (for example where a square picture has been stretched to cover a long thin rectanlge). While I know that pictures will be, and were, distorted from this, they weren''t nearly as badly distorted as they are now. I have many bmp''s which make up my different textures, which are all slapped onto quads, not complicated shapes at all. They were all originally displaying fine, before this reinstall of C++. Anyone any idea what may be causing this?

Maybe i''m making a mistake, but aren''t sql meant for database ?
anyway , maybe your opengl driver is running in software emulation , try to check in tools/option/directories settings for the include library and in project/setting , if you ''ve included opengl32.lib,glu32.lib and glaux.lib.

If I wasnt including the right directories and everything for those libraries, wouldnt the program simply not work at all?

And the opengl drivers are working fine, I think, I run seriously taxing games on this unit, they run fine with no problem.

This is really confusing me.

I have no idea why it is doing this.

I can code, but i am no techie.
