I've just installed visual studio 2010 on my PC and I'm running a program that worked well on my laptop. The code uses glut and it exits at the last line below:

C++

    glutInit( &argc, argv );
glutInitDisplayMode( GLUT_RGBA| GLUT_DOUBLE);
glutInitWindowSize( 512, 512 );
glutInitContextVersion( 3, 2 );
glutInitContextProfile( GLUT_CORE_PROFILE );
glutCreateWindow( "CG" );
    "............."

any ideas why?

Well there does not seem to be anything after that statement so what do you expect?

I wonder if a guy from the US is going to get monty python-type of humor..
On topic: Any useful exit code in the output window?
Have you tried running it while catching all exceptions when thrown?

This code worked well on my laptop.. after glutCreateWindow instead of proceeding the code gets to glutCreateWindow_ATEXIT_HACK and exits.:(

Got it.. the version was the problem. I've changed to
glutInitContextVersion( 2,0 );
and now it works
