Is the DX8 driver compatible with DX9b?

I've been trying to get my DX to work eith Irrlicht for a while, but it never works. It just crashes, sayas the the program had to be closed by windows, and an error log has been created. Try as I might, I can never find this log. So, I just wnt to know... do I have to downgrade?

I hope not...

are you using MSVC or DevCpp?

dev-cpp

It worked before, but I had to reformat not too long ago, and no it's not working

Normally, the DirectX renderer won't work with Dev-C++ unless you recompile the engine with proper modifications.
I did it and it works (almost) perfectly (I have DX9b runtime installed, but compiled it with the DX8 SDK).
