Ive been using OpenGL on my XP and I downloaded programs that shows texture mapping tutorials/samples.and it shows the textures.But now when im learning texture mapping it dont show my texture on the cube.But i know im doing it right because i send my program to someone else and they said its a cube that has a green wave texture on it.But when i try it it dont show my texture map.All im asking here is that is Opengl compatible with windows XP or is something wrong with my PC and if so then what is it..... Andrew rulz and u know it.........

Search your hard drive for opengl32.dll. If you have it then you''re good to go. It ought to be there as MS has been shipping it with their OS''s for quite a long time. Also check the website of your video card''s manufacturer. Most likely you are missing glut32.dll which MS doesn''t ship. You can find that library in a lot of places - try opengl.org for starters.

i have had a few problems like yours with opengl and XP, have solved them all by copying the opengl files into the dir of the app i am trying to run rather than into the \system dir they would usally reside in. also make sure you are using a full implementation of opengl drivers for your card and not some mini-gl.

Have you tried installing the latest drivers for your video card?
If I remember correctly, WinXP by default re-routes OGL calls to D3D, and you need to install current drivers in order to correct that. This might have nothing to do with your problem, but it is often a good idea to make sure that you have the latest drivers for your video card, especially if you are having problems.

j.w.

I am having the same problem with XP. OpenGL does not work with my programming examples, however some of my games that us OpenGL work fine....What gives? Anyway, I also have Red Hat Linux and Windoze 98 installed on the same machine and OpenGL works fine on both OS''s, but not on XP...Again I ask you, what gives?

I have XP and OpenGL works fine by me. I can run al the programs that I runned with 98/me/2000.

I''ve got a geforce 2mx and I have also installed the most recent drivers. So maybe that''s the problem?

All works fine here on XP

Check your drivers

"When I have a problem on an Nvidia, I assume that it is my fault. With anyone else''s drivers, I assume it is their fault" - John Carmack

Here''s the drill:

Microsoft prefere DirectX since it''s their own API, so XP supports DX fully (and better than ever ), but decent OGL drivers are lacking.

You simply need to find your manufacturer''s website and download updated drivers for XP... so long as you have a high profile card you will find XP drivers easily.

Once new drivers are installed, OpenGL will run as well as it ever did.

i have a gforce 2 gts with the new xp drivers and open gl demos run at a snailspace. the nehe apocalypse demos for example, they run great on my vodoo3 3000 500mhz but crap on 1ghz gforce2
i copied the dlls to the dir and everything. is there anything else i can do?

When you say the "latest drivers" are you referring to Nvidia''s Detonator drivers downlaodable from http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?PAGE=windows2000?

The installation of this program really should correct your OpenGL problems.

I too am using a Geforce 2 card on Windows XP (professional) with no problems with OGL after installing the XP drivers from Nvidias site.

You can also try throwing your computer out a window.
