The "faulty" line is: ddrval = lpDD->lpVtbl->CreateSurface(lpDD, &ddsd, &lpDDSPrimary, NULL ); ddrval is returned as *not* DD_OK and so the program stops. Looking over the program, I can't find any obvious mistakes... so what is causing this? Thanks a lot for any help - I really want to get directx going! :) Matt - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
