Hi... I have this problem... sometimes when I compile OGL programs they run really slow, like 0.5 FPS!!! I dunno what it is... but I really pi$$es me off. Sometimes it''s ok, sometimes it crashes after a while, sometimes it crashes right afeter i run my comp... I''m confised ! Maybe something is wrong with code ( tutorials too )? Maybe I need to reinstal my wINDOWS ? will somebody help me Pet

Maybe it switches in SoftWare mode,

try to add some kind of blended square with a blending function the software renderer doesn''t support and look what it does when it start running slow

yes folks we have a winner of the most unanswerable question of the month, but please keep sending those entries in , remember theres always next month to win and it could be you.
btw pet send me your code and ill take a look

A way to see if it''s your fault or windows one, is to use two OS as I do, and use a crossplatform library to write only the code once and compile it on both OS.

Here''s my setup:
BeOS5 PE (http://free.be.com) / BeIDE (devtools.zip same URL)
Windows 98 SE / Visual C++ 6.0
SDL library (http://www.libsdl.org)

I code in C/C++ and OpenGL1.1

Hope it helps...

ok enough... strange thing is that it happens even with tut lets say 6 ... I was thinking ( answer from my post before )that its a problem of lack of glDisableTextures...

but really I don''t know how to explain ... maybe hardware conflict ?
I thought that somebody had this before, and ... you know !
I''m waiting for some more answers ...

I had a similar problem and the solution was to completely disable DualHead - MultiDisplay for my Matrox dualhead card whenever I wanted to run someones ogl program. The results we crazy, before disabling I''d get about 2fps, after I would have 60 - 80 or whatever... it was playable. So, If you are running two monitors try and disable your secondary completely...
