Call to draw() crashes program.

[Christopher Jozwiak]

I am attempting to compile a very simple program with SFML.  Any attempt to draw a simple sf::RectangleShape results in a crash.  I have compiled SFML 2 using mingw-gcc 4.8.1 and can compile it perfectly fine without a draw call.  I have an outdated system and am on windows 7 and my GFX Card doesnt only had drivers for XP.  I have those installed.  I'm assuming this is the core of the problem but wanted another opinion. 

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
#include <SFML/Window.hpp>

#define Window_Height 800
#define Window_Width 600



int main(){

    sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(Window_Height, Window_Width), "First SFML Game");
    sf::RectangleShape arrofshape[10];
    sf::RectangleShape shape;
    bool draw = 1;
    for (int i; i < 10; i++){
        arrofshape[i].setFillColor(sf::Color::Red);
        arrofshape[i].setScale(sf::Vector2f(10,10));
    }

    while (window.isOpen()){

        sf::Event event;

        while(window.pollEvent(event)){

            if (event.type == event.Closed){
                window.close();
            }
        }

    window.clear(sf::Color::Black);

    window.display();

    }




    return 0;
}

You have 3 (or 4) options:

• Try your luck installing driver 14.17 by zip or by exe
• Try Intel Driver Update Utility and hope it does something useful
• Build and use the latest and greatest version (master revision from GitHub) of SFML that will manage to put up with your ancient hardware without crashing horribly
• BONUS: Just install Linux on that thing, I don't know how you manage to stay sane running Windows 7 on such old hardware

The choice is yours.
