Re: [Visualpython-users] Windows 8 tablet problem -- solution?

[Paul C. <PC...@sp...>]

1. Try running in compatibility mode:

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/older-programs-compatible-version-windows

See what happens.

2. Try a clean boot and see if that fixes it:

If so, there is a software conflict.

I have no idea. If I remember correctly, there have been reports that 
VPython works on Windows 8, so that wouldn't seem to be the problem. Some 
suggestions:

(1) Update the graphics driver (though with a brand-new tablet this 
shouldn't be an issue).

(2) Try running from the command prompt, which sometimes gives additional 
information:

cd Python27\Lib\site-packages\visual\examples
C:\Python27\python bounce2.py

(3) As suggested in the download page at vpython.org, "In the folder 
C:\PythonNN\Lib\site-packages\vis, edit the file site-settings.py to 
disable the use of shaders."
