Is their a bug in windows xp or something? I've been running blitz3d on my old compaq with Windows Me, and never had a problem. I now have a new computer with windows XP and I can only run Graphics3D in 0 and 1 Mode...In mode 2 and 3 i get Cannot Create 3D Scene. I bought/installed version 1.80(it says i have version 1.80,linker 1.64,Runtime v1.80) I'm going to try reinstalling 1.82, and/or update. Any Ideas?

What GFX card do you have? I would definately update to latest version of B3D (v1.83), BTW.

It just sounds like your new PC's graphics card isn't capable of displaying a Windowed 3D Mode.

That's why I asked what card he had as that's what I was suspecting.

Alright, i got it, it seems windows xp was configured for 24 bit colors, when i set it to 16 it ran fine. Thanks for the help though.
