Graphical problem with windows XP
« on: November 15, 2010, 11:24:54 am »
Hi

When i try to run my program in windows XP there is a problem, the graphics are not drawn correctly:



here are the computer specifications:

graphic card: intel 82845g
SO: windows XP professional service pack 2
CPU: pentium 4, Intel
504mbs ram

I already tested it with other OS and it works fine, but i havent got the chance to test it with diferent pcs that have windows xp so im guessing that it might be a graphics card problem.

help pls.

Have you tried updating your drivers?
Have you tried running the SFML examples?
Have you tried running other (non-SFML) OpenGL applications?

Ok, i couldnt update my drivers because it is a pc computer, but i solved the problem.

instead of making the background image a bmp i turned it into a png and now it works fine, but i still want to know, what could be the problem with bmp??

Your image was probably invalid.
