I developed some really simple fragment and vertex shader (just a color mapping) and integrated it into an application via glUseProgram. Testing this on my machine, which has an ATI HD 2600 XT works perfectly. But when I tried this on our machines with NVIDIA GFX cards ( 7900 as far as I know) the glUseProgram returns the 1281 error. Which is the 0501 hex error code and means GL_INVALID_VALUE. I checked the value of the program, same on both machines. the code is really simple, and the error description of open gl is less then helpful:

Quote:GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if program is neither 0 nor a value generated by OpenGL.

The glCreateProgram() creates a program for me, so I have no idea, why it does not use it.

_vId = glCreateShader(GL_VERTEX_SHADER);  // value: 1
		
_fId = glCreateShader(GL_FRAGMENT_SHADER);  // value: 2
{
	const char*  arr = _vertexShader.c_str();
	glShaderSource(_vId,1, &arr,NULL);
	glCompileShader(_vId);
}
{
	const char*  arr = _fragmentShader.c_str();
	glShaderSource(_fId,1, &arr,NULL);
	glCompileShader(_fId);
}
	_program = glCreateProgram(); // value: 3
	glAttachShader(_program,_vId);
	glAttachShader(_program,_fId);
	glLinkProgram(_program);
        // no error returned from opengl here
        glUseProgram(_program); // still value: 3, created by opengl

It looks like you aren't checking for errors

glCompileShader(_vId);
glGetShaderiv(_vId, GL_COMPILE_STATUS, &IsCompiled[0]);


glCompileShader(_fId);
glGetShaderiv(_fId, GL_COMPILE_STATUS, &IsCompiled[1]);

glLinkProgram(_program);
glGetProgramiv(_program, GL_LINK_STATUS, &IsLinked);

you can also read the info log in case you get an error.

Hello,
i will check that. where do you find the info log?

I doubt that there are any errors since same file and even same build version of everything is used on other pcs.

read the part in Orange, that is GL 2.0 code.
void glGetShaderInfoLog(GLuint object, int maxLen, int *len, char *log);
and also
void glGetProgramInfoLog(GLuint object, int maxLen, int *len, char *log);
