Thanks Jesper, I had read teh "Read Before" thread first, but there no error messages beyond a Windows (10) message saying the application has stopped working.

  I'll see if I can find later openGL drivers than the ones installed to at least remove that possibility.

  I think I have checked for release/debug version issues, but accept there might still be residual stuff messing things up.  I plan to try a new install on an old Windows 7 box which has otherwise not seen VS/SFML before, but want to be sure first that what I'm trying to do should work as well as the initial worked example. If I've done something to mess up the install I want to try and avoid making similar miostakes on the clean installation.

I have problems with this too. I'm not a regular C++ programmer,  (last big job I wrote used C++ Builder 6) but hoped this new combination would work well enough to re-learn on the job.

Ran through the "SFML and Visual Studio" tutorial without too much difficulty. I can compile and run the program to draw the circle in a window.

However, on progressing to the other examples supplied with the download I'm hitting one brick wall after another trying to get them working. Programs compile but crash on execution. What extra do I need to do to get the the openGL example working?
