problem with EDT_DIRECTX8 and EDT_DIRECTX9

[alfa]

Hi, i'm a new member of this forum and i'have a problem with the first tutorial.

at this point:
IrrlichtDevice *device =
createDevice(EDT_OPENGL, dimension2d<s32>(1024, 768), 32,
false, false, false, 0);

if i replace EDT_OPENGL with EDT_DIRECTX8 or EDT_DIRECTX9. there is an error of initialization.
scuse me for my basic english.

Some Hints:
-----------

* Make sure u have a DirectX installed

* Make sure your monitor or video card supports
1024x768 resolution, as u use this resolution in your code.


This ff will make irrlicht reports an error in creating DX interface:
---------------------------------------------------------------------

* if it cannot load "d3d9.dll",getting DX address, and creating pID3D
*
........."Error, could not load d3d9.dll."
........."Error, could not get proc adress of Direct3DCreate9."
........."Error initializing D3D."

* If it cannot get the "Display mode" of your video adapter
*
........."Error: Could not get Adapter Display mode."


* if it fails to Create the Device
*
........."Was not able to create Direct3D9 device."



Hope this will help you get to know where the problem is.
