   FBO Init error on Release Build but not Debug Build?!
  that just about explains it.....any ideas why? i trace it in debug mode and it creates the FBOs fine... but i get init error status output when i run the release buildEDIT: I'm using Visual Studio 2005 and Windows Vista ... Debug mode has no problems at all too... runs the application fine   
  It probably has something to do with uninitialized variables. See here for more info.
