This is a *very* strange problem. This code cannot cause an AV, it only references stack variables. Your call stack is very weird too, it shows a call made from line 131 of gs_support.c, but there is no call there. Switch to assembly and compare the code with mine:
yeah, yet I can get this 100% of the time regardless of how I try to start a new glut based project. Here's my disassembly window code. This problem has me so stumped and frustrated its not even funny. Happily if all else fails I can always jumo way back to good ole VC6 with no problems its just not the answer I want.
Really I'm the only one that has this problem and not just one but two different machines? Any hints, tips or clues to what even to try thinking about because I have tried everything I can think of.
