Evening,

I''m having a problem with directdraw. It allways crashed my computer when I exit. I copied the shutdown code from Microsofts DX page, so I don''t know what I''m doing wrong. The program itself runs fine, so I''m kind of clueless of what''s going on. a.h{text-decoration:none;color:blue;};a.h:hover{text-decoration:underline;background:red;};

Hi.

JwayneT: Please try this, either disable the code that changes the display mode or set your desktop''s display mode to match the one used by your directx application, and the run your application normally. In my case, this prevents the error I am talking about in the paragraphs below. (Of course, this is not an aceptable solution, it is just a test.)

When I close my DirectDraw application, I get some sort of "accoess violation" error in the debug output of Visual Studio, generated by either Kernel32 or GDI32. The error shows as soon as I call "ExitProcess". So here I am waiting for answers too .

I compiled a DirectDraw SDK sample and it caused the same error. I ran the pre-compiled version of the same sample included with the SDK and the same error, so it is probably not the compiler.

Hi.

Update:

JwayneT: Let me guess... you have a multi-monitor don''t you? If you do, I recomend that you try these tests for aditional troubleshooting.

I have 2 monitors connected to the same machine using one AGP and one PCI cards.

Whenever I ask DirectDraw for a particular display device by providing it with with a GUID uppon it''s instance creation, I get the problem I described in my preivious post. It does not matter which card is the primary, it does not matter how many or which of the cards by itself I install, I get the problem.

However, again, it does not matter which card is the primary, it does not matter how many or which of the cards by itself I install, if I create the DirectDraw object for the *PRIMARY* display (eg, setting the lpGUID on the DirectDrawCreate function to NULL) the application apears to be working flawlessly (even changing display modes).

Accually no,

I''m not running multiple monitors, I will check into the DirectDrawCreate function and make absolutly sure that I have implemented it right.
