[Visualpython-users] I broke my VPython

[<Art...@rs...>]

So I'm doing my VPython thing, having a great time.  Did I nice
wireframe Sphere - but then it won't render completely when I
have more than say ten stacks. Thought that an unfortunate
limitation of VPython - not a clue why.

But then I go back to some of the demos - like Hanoi - that ran
perfectly nicely when I first installed VPython and find that
they also are not fully rendering. Get ugly half-rings.

So re-install the cvisual .dll.  No help. 

Clueless.

If you are running on Windows, it might be useful to run glinfo.py and 
report its output.

Clearly something has been corrupted on your machine, and evidently it 
isn't cvisual.dll. Perhaps you should uninstall VPython and Python, then 
reinstall Python and VPython. If you've saved copies of the installers this 
doesn't actually take very long.

Also try disabling hardware acceleration (as suggested in the FAQ).
