Hi Asher,

Testing your OpenGL Declare 1.3, I notice that the demo project works fine under Vista RC2, but does not work under a fresh install of XP Home SP2 (under Parallels 1940) -- get an "error 8 setting up gl context".

I'm guessing that XP Home SP2 doesn't come with a necessary Open GL library? Or could this be due to Parallels not doing 3D acceleration, whereas Vista is falling back to a software renderer?

So I guess I'm really asking a general question -- under what circumstances does OpenGL work under XP?

thx
-mike
