Setting up Your Machine
In order to do the homeworks and project on your own machine, assuming you have an NVidia GeForce3 or GeForce4, follow the following steps:

• Install the OpenGL NVSDK, available here
• Install the Cg Toolkit, available here
• Install the latest Detonator 40 drivers from NVidia (if you haven't already) available here
• Install GLUT. Be sure to install the files in the right places according to the README file.
• Copy the header files "glext.h" and "wglext.h" from C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVSDK\OpenGL\include\glh\GL to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Include\GL. (This assumes you've installed the Cg toolkit and Visual Studio on the C drive and in the default locations.)
• Download the program to enable NV30 emulation from here
• Download the NV30 OpenGL specs
• Remember to turn on NV30 emulation before you try to use any of its features. If you re-install the video drivers or something like that, NV30 emulation will be turned off.
