hi guys i just wrote the first nehe tutorial, and when i run it i have my window except i cant do anything with it…i cant move it , i cant minimize it, i cant resize…no nothing…
i wrote it myself reading off the web, so i thought maybe i got something wrong so i dled the actual zip file from nehe and compared each line, but i still cant find what is causing that…
so this is really the topic that should be put at the very end of this forum, and if anyone has time to waste (and they dont have something already planned 
), then could you just look at the code? thanks a lot

this isn’t a priority
when i run it, the prog uses 100% of the cpu…and i did some step checking, and it looks like the program is stuck in DrawGLScene ()…i used a messagebox in a few place to see what happened…and once it got to DrawGLScene(0. it kept on popping that same message…it musht be something with my message loop…
