Well if you want to get hacked thats your problem! SP2 is just fine as well as having being out ages, you must be missing a whole bunch of updates lol!
lol, tell you what, if you can break into my network, i will gladly update to sp2....
the nehe examples are fairly out of date now, are there any particular ones your having problems with? I have some of them converted...
I have run games in opengl on this machine many-a-time. Nothing has changed on the machine since then... I can run opengl apps with blitzmax fine, I can see polygons, i can see colors, I can do anything BUT use the GLTexFromPixmap function!
It's just that function....
Honestly though, I do appreciate everyones effort to help.
