[vtkusers] Win2K crashes when I print contents of graphics window (vtk3.1)

[Louis le Grange]

When I load and run the MSVC example Sample.dsw, and try to print the
graphics screen the computer crashes and reboots...

(((((Does this problem have any relation to a previous post of TIA Bill?
(Please see post at the bottom.))))))

I cannot remember this happening on WinNT with whatever graphics card I used
then.

However, currently I am running MS Windows 2000 Proffesional, 5.0.2195 Build
2195 and with screen card details as follows:

Sounds like the graphics card does not do opengl very well.
You could try turning off all acceleration for the display.
