Belts not displaying

My Computer has an Intel Core7 11th generation processor, 2.68GHz. The computer has 16Gbytes of memory and 32Gbytes of virtual memory.

The Video system is an Intel iRISx Max Graphics card. This evening I downloaded updated drivers for the card.

I re-ran Ticker with pulleys but the belt still did not display.

Thanks Bill:

Thats plenty of power. The next version will record the actual error codes from the DX subsystem, so that may lead me
to a solution. Ill try to make it out by tomorrow.

Bill:

Version 1.10b is online and should show me exactly what the system error code is that is failing the shader. This should allow
me to get my teeth deeper into the culprit. We're very close I think, I kinda feel it will be something stupid on my part as a
missing support file or something. Ticker is video game tech really, its written in the same way as a video game but attached to
an application interface, so its a bit of a strange marriage as far as timing relationships in the code. As this is my first "Video game"
type of program of this size and nature, I expect I missed something somewhere as the belts are the only item that do as they do
in terms of communication between the graphics card and the program. Its the only time I've used the video card as a computation
unit and was interesting in terms of making it work. (Thats always a dangerous sign for systemic reliability across various hardware).

Hopefully this leads to a solution finally after all this testing. Thanks to you however, the error system is now much
more robust and corrective.

I've loaded V10B. Same results of the belt not showing. I'll continue to look at my system just to make sure that I hadn't turned off some setting. I never use my computer for interactive games so I'll start exploring if there are any gaming specific options on the computer.
