You might find something in here:
http://3dlinks.com/3dprogramming_opengl.cfm

There are also links for Java, VB, DirectX, C++, Delphi and other stuff on this site.

scotland, normally they work fine. Are you sure you made everything right??

I don’t use the exact neHe tutorials, but the opengl commands should still apply

as for the initalizing an opengl window, and doing stuff with it, it is often easier to use something more abstract (sdl in my case, but glut is easy too)

(I use sdl because it gives me more control than glut and is on more platfroms.
that reminds me, I have work to do)

Make sure you followed the tutorials on the NeHe site correctly. The NeHe site is by far the best site for learning OpenGL. It works fine for me, on msvc++ 5.0.
