I’m not sure this error doesn’t help anyone understand what is happening… Essentially I am using Netbeans and JOGL used to work on my computer. Now it doesn’t, I keep getting this error running any demo/jogl app(in this instance the gears demo) Anyone familiar with this?Two hours googling resulted in no yield of information. Thanks, hopefully, this problem doesn’t take over a week to figure out because I just want to continue writing my game…Not deal with these issues…
Welcome to the wonderful world of computing 
I think on the whole things are getting better. Maybe by the time our grandchildren learn to program, it will be non-stop laughs.
I’m afraid I don’t know what causes your crash… does it manage to render some graphics then crash at some arbitrary point, or just crash before it even gets going? If you go run the demos as webstart things from the jogl.dev.net do they work ok?
Shyeah, Java lately is making my head a mess, not even the programming…Just my IDE and such…
But it opens the Window then I’m assuming shortly after making it GL it dies. I’m just wondering if it’s Vista(my scapegoat), the ide, my sdk, or how I have the jogl libraries added…
this f**king onboard graphics card crashes at work when I launch TUER. There is a bug in the allocation of vertex arrays and VBO. It is not your fault. You’re under Windows, update your driver, this bug is fixed in the second or third version.
Please send me the complete log files if you encounter other problems.
Good that this should be solved; I was going to suggest adding drivers to the list of possible culprits but thought it relatively unlikely…
Getting IDEs and libraries and things linked and set up properly is one of the most irritating parts of programming in my experience, because it seems like it should be so trivial and while it doesn’t work you feel like you’re getting absolutely nowhere. At least java isn’t the worst system in the world…
Wow, A) Thanks for the “it’s not your fault” cuz so often with computers it is haha. and B) I could hug you for fixing that problem, this has been some real migraine material, until this last second. Vista FTL
And xinaes I couldn’t empathize with you more. Like if someone gets me the soft-ware I will learn it and do fine, but if it isn’t set up right or has compat, issues I just start falling over at the ridiculousness when there should just be an .exe to import it to your IDE.
A possible workaround is to use display lists instead of static VBOs and unfortunately immediate mode instead of dynamic VBO. You could deactivate this workaround on other machines to have better performance. I have not yet tested ATI Radeon XPress under Vista, I hope that an update of the driver is enough to solve your problem.
