Hello, peeps.
Since I got my laptop repaired its had a program called VIA RAID on it, now I looked into this a little and it turns out its for optimizing multilple HDs. So my question is: Can I safely remove this program? I think yes, beacause if I kill the proccess with task mgr nothing bad seems to happen but I thought I'd best check…What else…Ah yes, in other news, I be learning C++ with devC++. Having covered the basics I'm now looking into openGL, but I'm a little stuck as to how to install openGL and access its functionality…Also, check out the easter egg in this vid; its hilarious:http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/406196(Click the small circle in the middle and then the egg #1)Anyway, adieu…"Sunday, Monday, Happy Days.Tuesday, Wednesday, Happy Days.Thursday, Friday, Happy Days.Saturday, What a day,Groovin' all week with you.These days are all,Happy and Free. (Those Happy Days)These days are all,Share them with me. (oh baby)Goodbye grey sky, hello blue.There's nothing can hold me when I hold you.Feels so right, it can't be wrong.Rockin' and rollin' all week long.These days are all,Share them with me.

But those are the 2.1 reference pages, so you'll need a 2.1 card and GLEE. Using Everest you can also check out which extensions your implementation has.Hmm… that was wierd (^^) :/
Great! I'll get on it… I may also replace dev with code blocks.
Do you have 240gb of space on your laptop? Is it an HP?
No. No. Is this some elaborate way of telling me I'm stupid for wanting to uninstall RAID? (No sarcasm intended.)
Since you don't have multiple hard drives, they aren't in RAID. VIA RAID is just a RAID controller for a RAID chip; It's safe to uninstall, but why not just leave it?
If it was working before without it then why are you asking anyway? It obviously got installed when they reinstalled all your drivers.No, it's just that 240gb 17" HPs are actually a raid-array of two 120gb drives.

Then you can have SDL_Image to load images, and OpenAL and LibVorbis to play music filesMeh, I naturally prefer things with the GL naming conventions :3
OK I think I'll keep the RAID thing just incase but keep killing the proccess. Thanks for the advice everyone.
On the GL front, I managed to get GL going but I need some sort of basic tutorial so I know how to initialize and set up the window…
