Hi guys,

I've bought myself a tablet laptop pc a couple of months ago. It's been made by the Averatec company. It's their c3500 series running windows XP tablet edition. While I was on the road one day, I thought I would write some Blitz 3D code.

The Blitz 3d editor worked fine, but the resulting code didn't. It just lauched the Dx window and disappeared.
I've used the infamous While ... wend loop

While not keyhit(1)
wend.


to wait for the ESC key to exit the program.

On a similiar note, I noticed that another program ( ALE ) experienced the same problem.

My question is Has anyone else had this problem and been able to solve it? Are you able to help me solve my problem?

Hi,
I'm not sure but I had a similar problem..
I found the solution installing the latest graphic card drivers...
Try it, maybe works for you too.
:)

regards,

Thx Pinette,

As I'm not sure which grahics card Averatec uses for this machine, how would I go about finding the drivers, and which one to use?

I think this problem (and a workaround) cropped up earlier.
