The first Generation of books (REV 1) had corrupt cd's. If you goto www.mcp.com you can contact someone who will be able to send you a new working CD where all the demos should work.

Thanks but that isn't the problem. The CD problem isn't causing the code not to work properly. When I copy the code my demo does the same thing. It crashes.

Here's a question for everyone that has the Tricks book by LaMothe. Am I the only one that hasn't been able to get a few of the demos to run correctly? The bitmaps load up and I can see them for a split second and then the screen just crashes and goes away. Any help? I knew the 24 bit example wouldn't run for me since I have a TNT2 Ultra but the 16 and 24->32 bit demos crash also. (Chapter 7 I believe, Loading and displaying the bitmaps). This is bumming me out cuz I like a few of the functions in the library he writes but I'm afraid to use them until I can find out why it isn't running.

The ones I have problems with are from Chapter 7. The 24-bit loader that converts to 32-bit and the 16-bit loader. (I think its a starship or something like that) The actual .exe crashes after momentarily working. I've compiled the .cpp that goes with it and it crashes too when I try to run it? Are you using the regular driver that came with your card or an updated one? I'm using the last update I found. Maybe I should try the old one.
