[visionegg] Re: unknown software exception

Hi Christoph,

I've never seen an "unknown software exception", and therefore I can't be much help. Would it be possible to send a copy of the log file output?

I just did a quick google scan, and the first hit turns up a Microsoft support page saying if this is experienced with OpenGL apps on Windows NT, it means you should install a service pack. I know you have win2k, but maybe it's related? Anyhow, since I've never seen an "unknown software exception" in Python, I'm suspicious that it's an operating system/driver thing rather than a Python/PyOpenGL/pygame/Vision Egg thing. So, my first suggestion would be to update your drivers. Also, if you try running the win32 .exe demos (the 16 MB download), do they run?

Cheers!
Andrew

Hi Andrew


with visionegg0.9.9, python 2.2, win2K and an intel solano graphics card
all demo files, incl. opengl_info.py lead to an error: unknown software
exception.

we get the infos:

requesting windows 640x480 32 bpp (8 8 8 8 0)
warning video system reports 24 bpp, while your program requested 32

even tough we changed in the entry dialog 'requested total color depth'
from 32 to 16 we got the error above.

what shall we do? buy another notebook with a better graphics-card?

cheers

christoph
