Still having problems with Dx and DevCpp

I started using GFXStyler's DevCpp build of Irrlicht, but I still have some problems:

- directx9 apps always crash on startup
- directx8 apps often crash on startup
- directx8 apps, when they don't crash, perform a very bad model loading (see the image below) with, for example, .ms3d format
- .X format makes my view very very small with both opengl and directx8 (see image)

I really need to make Dx perfectly run because I've got a very slow pc and only in directx mode I can use my 3d applications (using opengl I don't have crashes, but it is tooooo slow)

Do you think the problem is related to Dev-C++ and the Irrlicht's build I am using, or to my hardware or drivers?
Should I switch to Visual Studio.NET?

I've got a Matrox Millennium G200 card and the DirectX 9.0c installed

Here's the image:

I've tried to use Visual Studio, and some of the problems are solved: I can use DirectX8 and the models are drawed correctly.
The problems with Dx9 and with .X models still remain.

Maybe try compiling your own dll instead of using another one? If this doesn't fix your problem then it probably has to do with your graphic card hardware/drivers.
