Movement tutorial taking down machine

Hi Guys,

My machine (Windows XP PC) goes to safe mode and needs to be rebooted. I beleive windows has stopped.

I have debugged it to this line in the tutorial code:

smgr->drawAll(); // draw the 3d scene

Yes the pointer is OK.

I have a cheap (budget) graphics card made by Intel. I have a feeling I need to upgrade that. I will have to anyway if I want to do any real work here. I have run the hello world and Quake3 map tutorials without any problems...

Any thoughts?

thanks

I also get this error message:

The ialmrnt5 display driver has stopped working normally.

thanks

I updated to the latest driver (14.17) for the 82865G Graphics controller which is what I'm running...don't laugh.

Still, she goes down.

I guess it's time to upgrade. I was warned about my graphics previously.

thanks
