The OpenGL hangup could be due to the gecomapi_win32_pi15_v08_pi.dll. Try to remove or rename this PlugIn to see if it affects OpenGL.
OpenGL on Vista is known to be buggy, and I sure would like to figure out how to work around its problems.
Anyone else have observations on:
SHOM BSB charts...
OpenGL on Vista....
??
We need more input on these issues....
This is strange....

Re hang-up: Completely clean install of 2.6.1513 (deleted 2.5 and ProgramData init folder, cleaned registers...). No plugin except grib and dashboard. Loaded a small folder of SHOM charts. No way...It hangs the moment it tries to display a chart using OpenGL (not when the blank
screen display is outside the chart area)
Draws OK without OpenGl
Tried tinkering to no avail with the Calalyst panel to modify quality vs performance of the display (Radeon HD 2600)
removing plugins: no effect

ADDED When switching to OpenGL, one processor (of dual core) starts running at 100%, with moderate memory usage.
