Any though will be Appreciated.

There is no division so the problem is not explicit in the code.

I had some problem with
SwapBuffers(wglGetCurrentDC());
(OpenGL-Win32 does not work )

Try to GetDC when you create the window and then use the same HDC and use it every time you swap buffers...

// create window and setup OpenGL
...
HDC hDC;
...
hDC = GetDC(hwnd); // hwnd is your window handle
...


// rendering loop
...
SwapBuffers(hDC);
...

It seems strange but on my system is not the same thing!

That''s what i did, i keep getting the same error at

// Specify the point and move the Z value up a little
glVertex3f(x, y, z);
z += 0.5f; <-----This Line

Now I don''t know anything about OpenGl, but what does the vertexing function do?

Because you are starting Z at a negative value, so eventually it''ll probably reach 0. Just put in something like..

z += 0.5f;
if (z==0) z=0.5f;

See if that fixes it.
