This happened to me when I upgraded my graphics card (and obviously the
drivers for it). I went from an Nvidia FX5900 based card to a Nvidia 6800LE
- and for some reason, then whe LE was in and the drivers installed, Moray
just wouldn't work. A temporary fix was to force it to use software
rendering. Check in the registry under SoftTronics, there is an option
(called ForceSoftareRendering, if I remember right) that you can set to 1
to make Moray NOT use OpenGL. The permanent fix for me was to reinstall
Windows and an older driver set for the card, and that fixed it and
everything is working now. (When Moray wouldn't work in OpenGL mode,
Blender wouldn't either. Post reinstall of XP and reinstall of the 77.77
Nvidia driver, everything works 100%, games are faster, etc. etc.)
