Hello. I am currently trying to get OpenGL to run on my computer. Everything should be setup fine, I have written a short app and it builds fine with MS Visual Studio 2008. However, as soon as I run the app, it crashes with "Unhandled exception at 0x6954a66e in OpenGLTest.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000000." Here is the source code (all of it), I've kept it as short as possible: As you can see, I'm not really trying to do much, I just want it to run. With the help of the debugger, I've found out that the code crashes on "glutCreateWindow( "Test" );". Beyond that, when I look at the call stack, it would seem the problem would be related to "atioglxx.dll" which is a part of my drivers for my ATI Radeon 9800 Pro. I've tried looking for a solution in a bunch of places, but I can't seem to find any information that would help me solve this. I am running Windows XP Professional and I was able to do OpenGL before I reformatted my computer not too long ago. Any assistance would be appreciated. If you require more information please ask and I will do my best to provide details.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <GL/glut.h>
void display( void ){}
void reshape( int w, int h ){}
void key( unsigned char key, int x, int y )
{
switch (key)
{
case 27:
exit(0);
case 32:
glutIdleFunc( NULL ); display( );
break;
default:
glutIdleFunc( display );
}
}
int main( int argc, char **argv )
{
glutInit( &argc, argv );
glutInitDisplayMode( GLUT_DOUBLE );
glutInitWindowSize( 200, 200 );
glutCreateWindow( "Test" );
glutKeyboardFunc( key );
glutReshapeFunc( reshape );
glutDisplayFunc( display );
glutIdleFunc( display );
glutMainLoop( );
}
