I think this will sound stupid. I have a problem. When I run my program the windows taskbar jumps out and instantly hides. After that the program runs too fast. What can I do? Thanks!
Anybody!! Please!!

You mean that at startup (of your program) the taskbar is still visible and that your app runs faster when it disappears? That's a problem i am having too and i did not yet find a solution to it but i dont get the

part, programs (imo) can't run too fast (except cd-man (the old one yes) which crashes at a computer faster than 266 Mhz). If the program runs 'too fast' (with which i guess you mean movement and such go so fast it isn't user-friendly or realistic anymore) try adding time-based movement or you will have that problem at other computers too (it might also run too slow).
Yeah, but the NeHe programs (tutorial) run normal. And my program sometimes too.
Where can I find tutorials about "time-based movement"?
Google?
If at first you don't succeed, redefine success.

I am completely new to Open GL. I have a book and I know enough C++ to know what I'm doing. The only problem is that Visual C++.NET doesn't want to build gl/gl.h (and maybe gl/glu.h - I don't know because it stops after one hundred errors.). Therefore I cannot even make an Open GL window to start experimenting with code to make shapes etc.

Does anyone have any idea why Visual C++.NET would not want to compile gl/gl.h? And if so, how can I get it to work?

It is quite annoying. And if you can't help out with that. What are some good windows programming tutorial websites. Console applications are boring.
-Thanks
What errors are you getting?
