[eq-dev] Driver issue? Gfx card issue? (was Re: Dependancies for building with VS2008?)

[Raymond de Vries]

Hi,

Yes, I am building everything from svn using VS2008, with my own brewed 
solution + project files for VS2008.

The apps crash even before the first line of main() is reached. The 
message is purely a windows popup saying

It is even worse: I removed 1 GPU from my desktop (4 cores) so that I 
test with only 1 GPU (back to basic). eqPly crashes then as well... This 
is the same situation as on my laptop (2 cores) where I also use 1 GPU, 
and there it runs fine in debug mode.

So it must be a driver issue then? I did install the most recent 
version. How can I verify that?

What do you mean with 'isolate'? I don't want to combine rendering 
results into 1 window or so.

First of all, I want to run the examples on my desktop, and go on from 
there, and find out what's possible and what's not.

I read that indeed.
