   Rendering Context Error Workaround?
  I just finished the first OpenGL Nehe tutorial on setting up the openGL window, and I get the "Cannot create Rendering Context" error. I'm pretty sure this is because my video drivers are out of date. The problem is that I'm using a loaned PC, so I don't have the administrative access to update the drivers. I'm just using the PC so that I can learn openGL while traveling.Is there any way I can work around updating my drivers? Maybe an older code implementation?   
  I have an idea, how about you don't hack into his admin? Especially, not by using notepad and some code. Then definitely not update his driver so you can use opengl, even if the person does not know what a driver is. It is unethical.   ;  Considering that the computer is from the Navy and that they have a monthly update that checks who knows what, I'm trying to avoid that route. I'd rather not be branded as the person who hacked into a government computer system.If it was any other computer I would not be having this problem.Cheers.   ;  I didn't know Navy personnel were allowed to lend out government computers. I'm on several security mailing lists and the number of articles about such-and-such data breach in the military astounds me. One would think this sort of "loaning" would be strictly forbidden.Anyway, sorry but I don't (still) have all the old NeHe code from years ago.You should see what is returned by GetLastError(), maybe that will give you a hint what is wrong.   ;  It's a loaner from the company, not from an employee. Anyways, after looking into it for a bit, It doesn't look like I have any other way besides updating my video card since there's a couple other errors too. Curse this crap laptop. I need to get myself a better one with admin access.
