Evan,

Interesting! On one of my machines, I am running Vista 64 bit Home Premium SP1 with an Nvidia e-GeForce 8500 GT video card. On this machine, the 3D board does not work either.

I did try running the routine in Windows XP compatibility mode, but it still didn't handle the 3D board properly. This is a brand new machine with all drivers freshly installed. I have been running gnubg on it in 2D mode, assuming that the problem was with Vista 64 bit. I didn't even bother to announce the problem because so few people are running Vista 64 bit.
However, the Sony Vaio is almost surely running Vista 32 bit. [YES, MIKE, MY SONY VAIO INDEED IS RUNNING VISTA 32 BIT. -- EVAN]

At this point, it looks like the problem has to be some incompatibility between the graphics routines, Vista, and/or the video driver.

Mike

GNUGB 3D will not work on Sony Vaio under Vista. It simply stays in 2D mode.

The video system is NVIDIA GeForce 8400M - GS

Does anyone have a solution?
