hi,
i have a problem with my irrlicht programms.
when i compile a source and run the programm i get only 2-5 fps.
i think there's a problem with opengl.
I've got this message:
OpenGL driver version is not 1.2 or better.

I'm using win xp.
maybe someone knows something i can do.

Also, if you're using dynamic shadows, try disabling them. On my system Irrlicht's OpenGL driver runs horribly slow with shadowing enabled.

Normally, you don't need to download a newer OpenGL version since it's mostly included in your videocard's driver. So make sure you got the right and preferably the latest driver for your video card!
