[Visualpython-users] C++ runtime error

[Tim <tim...@ta...>]

Hi,
I have downloaded and installed python 2.6.2 and the latest verson of 
VPython. When I try to run any of the sample VPython applications, I get 
the error:

Runtime Error

Program: C:\Python26\pythonw.exe

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual 
way....


Can anyone help to troubleshoot this?

Thanks,

Tim

Hi,
I did what you said. Python commands seem to be working fine. I am 
running on a Win32 system with Windows XP and a  Via Unichrome S3 
graphics card. My laptop only has 256MB memory. Could that be the 
problem? VPython is fine on my Desktop machine.


Thanks,

Tim

A possible diagnosis is that the problem lies with your graphics environment, 
which perhaps doesn't support OpenGL properly. Try running the demo program 
glinfo.py and report the output. Perhaps you could update the graphics driver 
from the laptop manufacturer. Or try setting the graphics acceleration to zero.

The first thing to try is to write an extremely minimal non-Visual program and 
see what happens when you run it:

print 2+3

This will make sure that something sensible happens with Python, independent of 
the Visual module.

What can you tell us about your Windows machine? What operating system? What 
graphics card?
