I bought a program called Morphbuster which does a great job of making animated morphs. I used it on my old computer with an old ati 9200se 64mb card. Now I just made a new computer with a nvidia 7300gs card and it will no longer support hardware acceleration. I tried the old card in the new comp and it worked but not with the new card. The program tech support said:
Hi,

MorphBuster uses OpenGL to render each frame in the morphing animation
and requires heavy OpenGL support.
Even if your video board have OpenGL support it may not be enough for MorphBuster.
Or, some other driver on your PC uses OpenGL and there is not enough left for MorphBuster.

Your video board should have enough OpenGL support so I can only assume that the latter is the case for you.

That sounds like alot of BS to me. One thing that was suggested would be to change the compatability to Windows NT 4.0 but that didn't do anything. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks for any and all help.

You have NVIDIA drivers installed, right?

It's possible it require GLU, GLUT, or some other OpenGL libraries.

Yes, each time I tried a new graphics card I completely uninstalled one (and its drivers) and installed the next one with its most recent drivers. As for needing other OpenGl libraries I researched this and it intimidated me a little. It seems I need VC++ installed to use GLUT libraries. I wasn't sure where to go to download VC++. And I couldn't find how to install GLU. Any suggestions?
