Hi there ! I''m sorry if I don''t write correctly the english. I''m from Argentina and my natural languaje is spanish... I search for long time the internet for a clean program for OpenGL and finally find the GREAT NeHe site. Im a newby in VC++ 6.0 and OpenGl and Im trying to learn with these tutorials. All tutorials compile perfectly ( 0 errors 0 warnings ) BUT the debug window shows something like these in all examples: --------------------------------------------------------------- Loaded ''C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\DCIMAN32.DLL'', no matching symbolic information found.

Thanks to all. And sorry if it''s a stupid question...

It also happens by me, but I really don''t have clue what the problem is, but as long as it compiles, it''s OK, isn''t?

ARcube : Are using WindowsXP? If so update your video card drivers becouse those "WGL Message:WGL: DDrawRestoreSurface: Restore: DDERROR = DDERR_WRONGMODE" and simmilar belong to OGL-DX warper.

There are more worlds than the one that you hold in your hand...

_DarkWIng_: Im using WindowsME (MEdiocre?) with the last drivers for my video card and I dont think I understand that OGL-DX warper thing. I think it means that OpenGL is usign DX in some way. And the error is from DX.
Do you have som errors in the debug window or none?

There are more hands in this world that you can hold in yours...

Thanks to Anonymous too...

those are just debig messages to let you know whats going on while you are debugging. the reason vc++ cant find the symbol tables (gives memory locations names so you know what the heck things are for) is that release programs dont include that information. nothign to worry. the gl error messages though may be of concern, and you may want to upgrade your drivers.
