#2 Your system likely is incapable to initialize OpenGL which is a must by 1.3, as DirectX was completely cut (its not required as the iphone does only support ogl es)

1. Check your graphic card drivers.
you must have drivers that support OpenGL or you can not use iTGB.
If you have an Intel GMA 900 or below you are out, these cards don't fullfill the WDDM requirements and WDDM is required to allow the hardware manufacturer to support OpenGL at all

2. If you have an ATI, you will have to disable visual composition depending on the driver version and if you use gadgets. Several threads exist on the T2Di and TGB boards on the topic

#3 I am afraid this is not the case.

I have an ATI card. Desktop Composition is off as with every other eye candy. The OpenGL is initialized properly (from conosole.log ):

but TGB opens stays open for a second or so and then crashes ...

#4 Is that all that your console.log has? Nothing more than the last "Extensions:" line?

#5 No there is also a lot more but everything seems normal. Maybe i miss something though ...

Here is the end after a long list of compile / execute statements:

#6 and it ends there.
iTGB stays open for about a second and then dies ...
