OpenGL in Win2000/XP?
Author
Hi! I''m having problems with running my application on Windows NT-platforms.
Not that it''s not running, it''s just running SLOW!!
I tried upgrading the drivers from www.glsetup.com, but it says it only supports 9x-products. Is this true?
And, if not, where can i find drivers for NT-platforms?
what video card?

The built in plug-and-play drivers in WinXP "neglected" to include OGL drivers on several different popular video cards.... Just DX. Most of the time, your gonna have to get the manufacturer''s driver.
WinXP/2k comes with opengl32.dll, which is Microsoft''s software-based (read: non-accelerated) OpenGL implementation. If you want hardware acceleration, then grab the latest/greatest drivers for the video card. None of the drivers that are included with WinXP/2k have OpenGL acceleration support.
So, that''s the reason your app is running SLOW. It''s running entirely in software. Note also that the software implementation doesn''t support everything (GL_BLEND is one thing it doesn''t support).
