[ros-dev] Starcraft Setup BSODs due to KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

Thu Sep 22 23:44:13 CEST 2005

No u are wrong on this point.  All version of directx got a d3d interface,
but u will not found example how to use it so easy any more.  If we talk
about directx 8 or higher ms did sepreate the d3d interface from  ddraw to
own file call d3d8.dll (directx 8) and d3d9.dll (directx 9). The directx 1-7
does have a  d3d interface. it is enum from ddraw.dll. to get access to it u
need call on DirectDrawCreateEx. and now u got the com interface, now u need
set up the 3d part and enum the d3d interface from DirectDrawCreateEx com
interface u got. please read about how directdraw works and what it has
before u say any thing about it. it is a hel work getting it working. Drfred
and me have done alot of work. but we need todo more resure how ddraw create
a surface before we can continue. on it.
