Hi, Im having trouble with tutorial 07 (NeHe at gamedev.net) where it introduces light to the program. All the others have worked ok but as i try to compile (or run the executable) i get an ''initialization failed'' message. I was thinking it could be my video card - "nvidia riva TNT2 model64", i think its only 8Mb. Anyone have any ideas? cheers Matt

Try investigating further to see which of NeHe''s function calls fail. Then read up on the error code to see what it means.

Cheers, Ive figured out what it was. In the "LoadGlTextures" procedure the address of the crate bitmap was "data/crate.bmp". When i extracted the file it didn''t create the "data" subdirectory. All i had to do was alter this reference.
Thanks again
