Hello, Im very new to openGL programming and I've just started reading the tutorials on the site. My problem is that when I compile and try out basic openGL pieces of programming straight from the tutorials, they crash my computer. My screen starts twitching and crashed 9 out of ten times. It looks like some driver thing, but I dont know. But untill I've got this fixed I cant get started. The weird thing though, the first times went ok, till I started doing some more of my own, and now none of it works, well, it crashes. To whom sounds this familiar, who can help me out. Thanxs in advance though, guys. [Edited by - Kincaid on April 24, 2005 3:56:35 AM]

I strongly sugest you update your drivers. Not only for videocard but some motherboard and others too if you can. If that doensn't work then please post a bit more detailed description how and when it crashes.

Problem solved, I noticed the same error with things that had nothing to do with c++, like moviefiles etc. So after reinstalling my videodrivers all was well.
It just happened the same time as I was starting my openGL-quest, but had nothing to do with it though..... :(

thanx anyway
