Graphics problems on Vista
BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Programming/Graphics problems on Vista

| On vista whenever I run any program it crashes on the first graphics command, including the samples (digesteroids,fireworks) also i have MingW installed but I cant re-compile modules - the option is greyed out |

| If the option is greyed out, (and you rebooted your PC after installing), it means that it the IDE can't find it -- probably didn't set the MinGW environment variables? As far as the crash is concerned: It's possible that your videocard doesn't support the video mode it's trying to set. Can you open a graphics screen in windowed mode (as opposed to full screen) ? |

| Ok I fixed the MingW issue by putting in the path variables, Im sure the hardware can handle the graphics modes as they open on older hardware |

What about adding this before the Graphics calls?SetGraphicsDriver GLMax2DDriver () Also, do check whether or not you can open a windowed Graphics mode, as xlsior suggests. |

| Im sure the hardware can handle the graphics modes as they open on other hardware Not necessarily - some new LCD monitors are incapable of displaying 800x600 for example. That's why I suggested opening it in windowed mode, if that works then its most likely a problem with your monitor/video drivers. |

| Hmm the graphics work now, strangely they didnt work immediately after I recompiled the modules but they do now.....:/ Thanks for your helps Last edited 2012 |
