   opengl apps not working
  hello,i just switched to a new machine and it seems that no opengl application is working.most dont even give an error message. the nehe ones say:"cant create a gl rendering context."the graphics card is an asus GF 4200 Ti, which worked on another computer perfectly. all drivers are up to date. WinXP...the only solution i found yet is to go to the display properties and set hardware acceleration to one above minimum. then it works but veeeery slowly.any ideas what the problem could be?   www.embege.com
well from nehes tuts your line comes from:   if(!wglMakeCurrent(hDC,hRC))// Try To Activate The Rendering Context{KillGLWindow();// Reset The DisplayMessageBox(NULL,"Can't Activate The GL Rendering Context.","ERROR",MB_OK|MB_ICONEXCLAMATION);return FALSE;// Return FALSE} SO APARENTLY YOU CANT ACTIVATE THE RENDERING CONTEXT!

(NVIDIA drivers were called "Detonator"s, but they changed the name sometime, and I''m not interested in NVIDIA anymore) ;quote:Original post by Anonymous Poster  Wrong forum... but...You should install latest drivers for your graphics card.

They are now called the Force Ware! ;  DerAnged,well that doesnot really help me with my problem.Anonymous Poster, why wrong forum ?anddidnt you read my post? "all drivers up to date" ;  Wrong forum because this is an OpenGL programming forum -- not a tech support forum.  If you have a programming issue, post it here with information and code; if not, try NVidia customer support or the forums at nvnews.net. ;quote:Original post by ehmdjii  didnt you read my post? "all drivers up to date"   they might well be, but something relating to your gfx subsystem is screawed, as i assume D3D games work fine the problem isnt with chipset drivers and the gfx drivers in general but for some reason it ''appears'' that your OpenGL part of the driver is broken.Try completely removing the driver (control panel uninstall and maybe even a driver cleaner, ppl at the above forums might be able to help you find one) and reinstalling the drivers;quote:Original post by DerAnged  well from nehes tuts your line comes from:   stuffSO APARENTLY YOU CANT ACTIVATE THE RENDERING CONTEXT!Brilliant deduction!
