Rendering problem

[Tek]

I am using dev-c++ 4.9.9.2;
I was following tutorials, and the code ran perfectly, until it needed to render 3d objects such as a cube, or the model from Quake 3. It just shows nothing at all except a blank background and any text.

The opperating system i am using is Windows XP, if that has any influence.

Which tutorial did you use, and what does 'ran perfectly' mean if nothing is rendered? Probably the first thing to change is the IDE, as dev-cpp is having major problems with compiling any larger or newer piece of code. Also make sure that the binary tutorials from SDK do work.
Moving to beginner's forum while investigating this. It's probably just a setup problem.

Maybe there are no lights on the scene?
Do all the examples run correctly?

Switch from DevCPP to code::blocks, or if you are going to work under Windows environments, to Visual Studio Express. Both are free to use and they are maintained, unlike DevCPP.

Switching to visual studio express worked, thanks.
