Microsoft take notice!

I have a dynamic display of Rubik's cube written in cpp and using OpenGL.
The executable works fine in my XPL machine but only partly in my Vista
machine even though I run the file in XP compatible mode. There are no error
messages. Rebuilding in Vista ( letting VS 2008 beta update the sln makes no
difference.

To spin a slab I have to do two things:
1) move the data in the 3D cube array consistent with the spin
2) rotate the slab incrementally in openGL to look as though it is spinning
Vista doesn't do 2) even though I can see it is calling redisplay six times
at 50 Msec intervals with with 15 deg increments to spin a slab a total of
90 deg.

I can't imagine what is different in the two systems unless the Quad 2
processor in Vista is messing about.

microsoft will not take notice...

this is a newsgroup of users, simple people come in here,
sometimes microsoft employees do come in here but on their own free time...

its not part of their job.

This is not MSFT. It's a public newsgroup.

Yes, It's a Microsoft News Group. Just FYI. Microsoft Removes Posts That
Are Nasty. Just FYI. Like Some Of Mine. Just FYI

I am confident Vista should handle it.

Some options to consider: make sure the graphics card driver is Vista
compatible.

Why are you using VS2008 beta. The RTM equivalent has been out for more than
two months?

You appear to be a developer. How come you mentioned nothing about your
graphics card capabilities. I understand it must be up to the snuff since it
worked in XP but still if it is an old graphics card then you may have a big
problem in here.

Your Quad has nothing to do with it.

Of course you are. You're a Vista Fanboy.

DUH, the guy's obviously a developer. Do you think he needs such simpleton
advice from you?

Probably because it's irrelevant to his question? Probably because he's WAY
PAST those kinds of simpleton "solutons"?

> I understand it must be up to the snuff since

"up to the snuff" - is that a programming term? A Vista, technical term?
Typing that term in Vista search ... what does it show?

He says so decisively. Like he's got any fukking idea about what he's
talking about and the simpleton "advice" he likes to give out around here.

Cheers.

You forgot ... delouse the system, and let MS "talk" to Vista overnight.
Make sure your "asleep", otherwise...Vistaclaus won't visit the PC ... and
leave pretzels and beer out ... for payment in fool.
