cant start old project
Author
well ive been lookingthrough my old archive of projects... and ive found an opengl project id like to run again... it compiles fine.. but all i get is a transparent window!
i know this worked the last time i run it... however ive changed computer since then and im guessing some file is missing... a dll or something...
im running on XP and right now ive got glee in the apropriate folders... what might be missing?
and yea... back then i was just starting so i had absolutly ZERO error checking so i cant rly get any hint of whats wrong.. :(
any ideas?

Not a DLL. If a DLL was missing, then the Windows dynamic linker would complain loudly when you attempt to run the exe.

Step through with a debugger.

tried stepping through it but didnt find out anything from it... ive tried the other stuff from my "archive" but none works... all of them has the same problem... and i know they worked 2 years ago when i made them...
Yeah I had a strange problem when upgrading HGE. Turned out I was never initializing the z value, but the library didn't use the value so it didn't make sense.
Anyways, those problems are a real bummer, but you do have the old executable that runs fine?

i have an old executable.. but its the same problem there... when i was running on vista it starts but all i get is a red screen with the fps text instead of transparent window...
Maybe you should try the executable on other computers, like maybe we could try it.
Because now I see it's not a library updating problem, like it was when I was updating old code. Unless you replaced the old DLLs with newer versions.
