Okay, so I've been trying to work with OpenGL and stdafx.h doesn't exist on my computer, nor do any of the files it links to. Could it be that OpenGL just isn't on my computer? I have a Sony VAIO model, I don't know if they have it pre-loaded or not. If it is on there, what am I doing wrong? And if it isn't, where could I download it?

I think stdafx.h is not OpenGL related but a visual studio header file.

It happens on some mobile devices with integrated graphic cards that don't support OpenGL with the default driver. You might want to look into using an alternative driver, or maybe try updating the current one.

stdafx.h is a header that Visual Studio adds to projects. It is generated if you use the precompiled headers option (default for new projects).

If you're not using VC++, you can get rid of the reference. If you are using VC++ and don't want stdafx.h, you can turn off procomplied headers in the project properties.

Windows generally comes with (a pathetically outdated version of) OpenGL.

What you might be missing is the OpenGL headers and such. You should also look into an extension loader (such as GLEW or GLee) to get to features supported by the computer's hardware, but not by Windows' implementation of OpenGL (which is always so outdated it is pathetic).

You mean between GLEW and GLee? I personally prefer GLee, but both are really good.

PS3 uses a licensed developer's kit that probably costs several thousand dollars per seat.

There may be some PS3 homebrew tools, however. But getting those working usually involves quite a bit of dirty-work (and possibly older or custom firmware).
