actually, i have been having this problem alot. My demos, and openGL projects have been running slow...does anybody konw the problem i am having?

It might be old drivers... Maybe a driver update will do the trick? If you have old drivers the new OpenGL version may not be supported, resulting in exactly your problems. My brother had a Pentium III 800 Mhz with a GeForce 2 and 256 mb ram and he got less than half the framerates I got while my computer had only 1000 points on 3DMark benchmark and his got 3000!!! When he updated his drivers everything ran fine, or actually ULTRA FAST

It mattered so much because he has Windows XP, which did not include OpenGL driver compatibility... updating your video drivers really is a must there. You said you have another windows version, but it can still be the drivers if they are really old...

A link to the website of my 3D engine will follow as soon as I have something concrete to show... Which will be soon.

hello, i''ve tried your demo, and i had some strange problems..

the whole screen flickered, and lots of parts of the frame buffer were kinda like in the wrong position (??) think this must be my video card (Quadro) ...

p.s.: the "you are dead" screen was ok everytime :-)

It initialised, didn´t worked...
I have a Voodoo 3, pentium II 233Hz, 160Mg RAM. It was drawing something on the screen, I just can''t tell what it is. It looks as if the only some lines of the graphics were been drawed at the screen.
PS. Nice web page

Interesting project

Runs extremely slow with alot of graphically glitches on my machine.

also...
on exit i went to a fullscreen w/ all white. needed to do a full reboot. i half expect my problems are from a hacked set of opengl drivers for my voodoo 5500 agp
