Any idea why some of the 1.2 demo programs do this?
I checked the event log and there are no entries there.
The terrain renderer does this when any of the directx
drivers are selected.
Dxdiag says I have version 9.0c
Thanks

First thing to try is to go to microsoft.com/directx and get the latest DirectX.

Thanks,
but I believe 9.0c is the latest version. I have the last version of hardware
driver ATI produced before they started on the next year's version
of hardware.
If the lib is using a feature of directx that might not be implemented
why doesn't it check for it or wrap those in try...catch blocks?
I would rather have my apps tell the user their hardware
isn't compatible than to have it just die. It looks really bad.

Alter the source, then, and submit a patch if you don't like it.
Also, I'd bet that you don't have the latest DirectX, since "9.0c" doesn't tell you which version of the D3DX library you have - the latest is February 2007.

If the latest is this month I certainly don't have it.
It doesn't bother you that code just crashes with no reason?
I find it very embarrasing when my code is put in front of people
and it dies. Then they tend not to hire me. Then life just
gets ugly after a while

Hmm, I'd choose to hire sio2 instead of you from what I know until now. But unfortunately I don't have a free position
