Direct3D9.0 Direct3D8.1 OpenGL problem

Hi guys.
I have the latest release of Irrlicht the 1.3.1 version and the Bloodshed DevC++ 5 and i have a problem: i compile the samples and when i execute them and choose the Direct3D9.0 or the Direct3D8.1 drivers it gives me an error:
"Direct3D9 Driver was not compiled into this dll. Try another one."
and then exits. When I choose OpenGL i have no textures and with the Software driver i have a low FPS.
But the precompiled samples from the bin folder work fine.
Can the problem be my video board, I have a NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 Model64.

Please search the forum for compiling the dll with DirectX for Mingw.
The missing textures seem to be a problem with some texture settings which are not supported. We'd need some OpenGL error checking or debugging in these cases. I could only reproduce it with OpenGL 1.1. What is your version?

use code::blocks with devcpp i had many problems when i was new so code::blocks is a good way to start!!

And what's with the code::blocks thing.

Search the FAQ forum, there's a thread which contains a link to the necessary dll.
