OpenGL just...stopped working...

[TheDarkJay]

I've returned from my long break from programming to find my route blocked by my damn PC!

Okay, this was wierd. I just tried to run a old Yagl program I made, but it simply froze, stopped (the Program, not the PC), and closed. I tried to run a few OpenGL programmes and other Yagl programmes. SAME PROBLEM! Any advice oh Guru's Of programming wisdom?

Programmed in FB?

I don't know why *compiled* programs don't work, but there was a change in fb's parser, you can't do this anymore:

#ifdef __FB_WIN32__
'$inclib: "opengl32"
#elseif defined(__FB_LINUX__)
'$inclib: "GL"
#elseif defined(__FB_DOS__)
'$inclib: "gl"
#endif

now, you have to do this:

Code:

#ifdef __FB_WIN32__
#inclib "opengl32"
#elseif defined(__FB_LINUX__)
#inclib  "GL"
#elseif defined(__FB_DOS__)
#inclib  "gl"
#endif

...maybe update opengl..? Can you even do that? O.o (clueless about ogl)

[TheDarkJay]

FB...C++...the lot. Yagl, plain OpenGL...everything. I may have to learn Allegro if this carries on...

Do you have any ogl games such as doom3? Did you try those? If those didn't work, try updating your vid card drivers.

Try to run the code I posted here. Please post any error messages you get from FreeBASIC.

[TheDarkJay]

It compiles fine, but when I run it it just closes itself. nothing else happens.

[Dr_Davenstein]

You probably will have to update your video card drivers then. You could also reset the properties to default.

Was anyone messing with the computer while you were gone?

[TheDarkJay]

No, though it did have a Complete crash that forced me to restart the Pc via the 'magic button'...maybe that broke something (it happened while I was playing a game)
