   DIFFICULT!!!
  I have a problem...I have downloaded the DirectX 8 SDK (well the needed files for vc++), it works perfectly on other computers, but not on this one.I have a Voodoo 2 card and when i run DirectX 8 Caps View the Voodoo 2 card is perfectly connected. I can play games that requests DX8 but I can't do my own games in VC++.The program is not able to create a device!!!I have tested all possible solutuions (except for the one that works) but I can't get pass that create device. This is how my code looks (it is taken form one of the tutorials from NeXe and it works perfectly with a GeForce 2): DOWNLOAD[edited by - henksgu on July 30, 2003 11:36:33 AM]
  Windowed mode?V2 can''t do that in D3D ;  If it''s a pass through card, then it can only do full screen, I assume.If it is a fully integrated video card like a Voodoo3, it can do both windowed and full screen. ;  I think your problem is Voodoo 2. On a more serious note, are you using a 3rd party driver?  If you are, stop using it!  All of those 3rd party drivers don''t work right and they are as stated 3rd party drivers that aren''t supported!Besides, you could use a video card upgrade!Best of luck,Brad ;  How many times are you gonna post this?  http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=171689among others. ;  I''m a complete newbie, but just a suggestion... you might want to add some directx .lib files to your project.  I''m not sure which ones you need, but from what I''ve read in "tricks of the game programming gurus" it''s common practice to do so.  I see that you''ve included directx header files, so this probably isn''t the source of your problem... just something to consider. If you can confirm that this is the problem then you should be able to find the .lib files under <"your_installation_drive"\dxsdk\lib> directory.  Good luck ;quote:Original post by Galapaegos  I think your problem is Voodoo 2. On a more serious note, are you using a 3rd party driver?  If you are, stop using it!

As you probably know, 3dfx has gone under, and hasn''t produced a driver in some time now and support for said drivers is non-existant.  You have a MUCH higher chance of getting support from a programmer of a 3rd party driver than finding someone from 3dfx for support.
