324694 2005-02-13 20:19:00 Occasionally I get this error message which pops up for no apparent reason and always when the PC is un attended.

'3d flying objects has caused an error in NVOPENGL.DLL. 3d flying objects will now close. if you continue to experience problems try restarting your computer'

I run Windows ME and I assume it's something to do with the video card, any clues.

324695 2005-02-13 20:25:00 You could try uninstalling that screensaver, and reinstalling it. Never used ME but assume you do it through Add/Remove Programs - Windows components Greg (193)
324696 2005-02-13 20:25:00 Yup, sounds like part of your video card drivers.

Altho, this file isnt on my system, I've just checked.

You could try reinstalling your videocard drivers. From here

www.nvidia.com

If your card is a nvidia based one. I think that screensaver is part of Windows,there is no uninstall entry for it.

324697 2005-02-13 21:37:00 Thanks chaps, never thought that 'flying objects' was actually a file. I don't use screen savers, I have however deleted that one, I'll wait and see what happens.

Tah muchly

324698 2005-02-13 21:41:00 Until you try out the new video drivers, change from the 3D OpenGL screensavers (eg Flying Objects) to a simple screensaver to prevent this error occuring. :)

[Edit]I was a bit slow posting and missed your last message. Are you sure you don't have the screensaver set to activate after X amount of time? It sounds like it was doing this if it only happened after you left the computer unused for a period of time.
