you should provide a errormsg.
your question is like: "I bought a car, turn the key and the engine doesn't start". Noone can give you an answer without knowing details.

Run the .exe from the command prompt and it will leave the console window up after it exits with any error messages. Possibly you're using an irrlicht .dll which hasn't had DX compiled into it?

When you compile Irrlicht and don't have the DX-SDK available, you don't have DirectX support, right?
Perhaps that is the problem.

i have directx 9.0c and my graphic card support that...
i think probably... the dll's problem?

this is a fast printscreen i made before the application closed up.

dx8 and dx9 both not working.

u think... i need to recompile irrlicht.dll for this?

yes you need to recompile the dll with direct3d enabled.
search in the forums for instructions on how to do this.

Download this: http://www.gprogs.com/gg.Irrlicht/IrrDX_v1_1.zip

And place the 3 .dlls into the folder with your .exe and it'll work
