Hi Thanks for your reply,

I shall try to answer your question. I hope they will prove to be usefull

Maybe your friend has some other processes running in the background that use most of his CPU power

I tried the program after a reboot. Granted there may have been some applications running in the background, but I would imagine it would be minimul

Then there's memory size, if he doesn't have too much free memory windows might start swapping while your program runns and that can and will slow things down (check if there's a lot of HDD activity while your program runs)

I do not know how much memory (RAM) his machine has, but I'm pretty sure it has more than my laptop.

Or it is a driver issue, for some reason OpenGL misses to detect/work with his 3D hardware so it reaches back to software emulation mode, this is not likely but who knows, do other OpenGL programs, games run fine and fast on his comp?

I've not tired other OpenGL programs I've written. Games run well on his machine.

Code-o-mat wrote:
Could also be that althorough his computer has a "superior graphic card" as you wrote, it does not have support for some feature you used in hardware so OpenGL uses software emulation which is much slower

I believe he has a Nvidia card (8800GT?). I have an "integrated card" apparently. I didn't use any extended features of openGL. Infact i stuck with the basic Microsoft implementation, which i believe is version 1.1.

Or it is a hardware issue, does he play 3D games, do those run fine on his comp?

3D games work really well on his machine. I've seen him play Counter Strike (Is that an OpenGl Game?), Command and Conquer 3, and Lord of the Rings online. To date I've not seen the frame rate drop, and he has the luxury of always selecting the best graphics options.

Something else I have just thought of is that my processor is a single core, but his is has a quad core. Could that be an issue? also I compiled my code on vista, but he uses XP. Perhaps theres some compiler options in Visual C++ that I need to look at. Any help would be appreciated.
