Just wanted to check if any of you had probs getting the tutorial code to run. On windows 2000 with a matrox G400 dual screen all tuts after no.5 run invisibly for a few secs, then die without comment. I''ve updated the card driver...
I have a dual head Matrox 450(?) at work, and while I havent'' tried running the tuts, most OpenGL programs I''ve run seem to have problems. some have missing triangles, some fail when releasing the rendering context (the GetLastError() messsage says something like "Failed to create file"), and some just plain crashed. Sorry I can''t give you any tips, but good luck.

Thanks, couple of reviews on the net confirmed: the matrox G400 series isn''t the one for opengl.
Still, isn''t it bizarre that tutorial 5 runs fine, six dies with : ''Initialization failed'', and all later tutorials just die without comment.
I''ll try modifying the code and post when I succeed.
Scalp''s masm version of tutorial 6 that I downloaded
from Nehe''s site... works fine.
