Look at me, I used the search function!


This problem happens 99% of the time, on my rather old Compaq. (Which I am hoping to use as my "productivity box.")
It has 512 MB RAM, 32 MB Intel Extreme Integrated Graphics Card, and Windows XP Pro. It has no network/Internet connection.

If I run an executable on my decent computer, it all works. If I move that same executable over to the productivity box, it gives me the "Unable to create 3d scene" error.

The error occurs on everything that I have created to this day. Including my SelfEmbedder end of the Embedded Window of Blitz test that I have. (Since I happen to have that thing's source readily available...)

I have tried changing the resolution on that to a regular value, but to no avail.

I have found that the error does not occur with the sample in Blitz3d\samples\Hi-Toro\Shooter\Shooter\shooter-testbed.bb

So, has anyone had any discoveries on this in the last... err... year?
