Re: access violation when calling glGenFramebuffers

Do you have the possibility to test your program on another configuration?
I had a program working perfectly well on multiple configurations (Windows,
Mac, Linux, etc.), except a particular one (Windows 8 64 bits, Python 64
bits, Intel HD 3000). So this bug might be due to some interaction between
the Intel Windows drivers and PyOpenGL/Python 64 bits. I fear that this bug
may be very hard to fix (especially if the drivers contain a bug somewhere).

How much RAM do you have? If you have an Intel HD card I suppose that you
don't have so much memory that you absolutely need Python 64 bits (with 32
bits you're probably limited to ~4GB objects). Those who will really need a
64 bits distribution will probably have a better graphics card anyway and
may be able to use your program.
