I have installed the latest OpenDX 4.1.1 on NT 4 following all Suhaib's
instructions. I have Exceed 3D installed. I'm not positive whether "Exceed"
and "Exceed 3D" are one and the same. When I choose "Help About Exceed"
from the task menu, I get "Exceed for Win32 Version 6.2.0.0". But when I
launch (either Exceed or OpenDX), the startup screen says "Exceed 3D V6.0".

The problem is simple: when I try to switch an Image window Rendering
Options to  "Hardware", I get an error in DX message window "ERROR: Image:
Display: Operation not implemented: GLX extension not installed".

What am I missing here? (this net and others work fine using software
rendering, by the way). Is this something we did wrong when Exceed got
installed? Or is there a hardcoded link to an Exceed 'extensions' directory
that is different on my machine than the one this version was built on?
(Suhaib: are you using Exceed 3D?) I should mention that I have this video
card in a Dell 410:  Intense 3D Pro 3410-GT; that's a couple years old, so
maybe there's a GL incompatibility (?).

Thanks! So close... (but those khaki colored modules have to go! I see the
font issue that Lloyd brought up: but I've got to find how to remap the
X-colors here: yuck!). (:-0

Nevertheless, thanks for persisting Suhaib and getting things this far. Not
having to get cygwin installed and configured made this one go a lot
easier. If anyone is having install problems, I'm suspicious about
including directory names that include space characters, so I did not
install OpenDX under "Program Files" much as I would have preferred to, but
directly under C: as Suhaib had it in the README. I also would have liked
to put this in a directory called "OpenDX 4.1.1" but resisted that urge as
well and named it "OpenDX". This made the initial startup very painless
since I didn't have to muck with the supplied bat files.
