[gameprogrammer] Windows Vista and OpenGL

Hi All,

I have moved to Windows Vista and I am seeing a significant difference
in the results of running the same code on Windows XP.  Specifically,
the rendering quality seems to be off.  Difficult to describe but I am
seeing a lot of flicker when rendering that I was not seeing before
and it doesn't appear to be because of the performance of the
computer.  The flicker only seems to occur when moving.  If I leave
the scene in place it renders OK but then when I rotate some objects
in the distance flicker off and then back on.  It is as if they
sitting on a clipping plane and flipping from one side to another and
it only seems to be on the farthest objects from the camera (Have I
just answered my own question???  Will check...)  The XP machine is
about 3 years old (Tosh laptop/nVidia Chipset) and runs perfect.  The
Vista machine is a brand new IBM/Lenovo with nVidia chipset.  Although
the video adapters are different they should be comparible and the IBM
should be a little better.

I was just wondering if any of you have had similar problems coding
for Vista with OpenGL or anything else for that matter.  Am I doomed?
Do I need to switch to Direct3D?

Regards

Richard
