I am trying to write an OpenGL program, but for some reason it ALWAYS writes invalid files. I am guessing the .obj files are corrupted somehow. Regardless it keeps saying that it cannot open the .exe in the debug folder for writing. I have tried starting a new project with new source code, but it does the same thing. I will post my code at the end of this message, becasue I think the problem is in the code. If anyone can give me some compiler settings that can avoid this problem I will be saved (if I don't get help I simply cannot continue). Another problem I have which isn't serious but VERY ANNOYING is the fact that I am getting all the errors from webpages. They vary from errors such as "Object required" to "Missing ';'". Every message box that comes up asks me if I would like to debug. If I click debug it opens the source for the actual webpage. I want to turn this off somehow, but I am not sure how. Ok here is the code for my opengl program that insist on not working. I am new so it is very possible that my errors are simple.

#include <gl/gl.h>

I had the same problem once with an app that didn''t exit properly. After using CTRL_ALT_DEL I could compile again. Check your Window creating code, my problem laid there.

Ok umm I already supplied creation and quit code...I''m not exactly sure what I did wrong, if anything...if you could tell me specifically what to change in my code that would help...I will scrutinize it more but I don''t know much windows programming...

Right.
