that sounds strange, fragmentarium is running 100% on a graphcis card, you are sure your graphics card can deal with it ?!
it sounds like a driver problem, what is your graphics card name ?!

its a Nvidia gforce 9600 .. its a OK card .. :-) I make a lot of graphics, and 3d rendering. Wait I will send a screenshot along here.. I couldnt get a screenshot .. but it says

OpenGL features missing

Failed to resolved OpenGL functions required to run this application. The .program will now exist.

the drivers Microsoft ships (and maybe also those you get via Windows Update) don't have the OpenGL parts.

Get updated drivers directly from nVidia please.

WOHOO  ..  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

The suggestion about downloading new drivers from Nvidia homepage helped. So now I just need to find out how to use the program. Thank you so much for the help here.
