[SlimDX] SEHException thrown from call to Device.CreateWithSwapChain()
Author
I just started looking into SlimDX and was trying to run tutorials 2 and 3 on my home computer, but I ran into a snag on the line where Device.CreateWithSwapChain() is called. Apparently an SEHException is thrown on that line. The error code is -2147467259, which apparently means an undetermined error has occurred. This issue comes up with both DeviceCreationFlags.None and DeviceCreationFlags.Debug, which suggests that downloading the DirectX SDK won't solve the problem (but I could be wrong). For reference, my computer is running 32-bit Windows XP Professional. The processor is an Intel E5400 with integrated graphics (i.e. I don't have a separate graphics card).
You can't use D3D10 or D3D11 on XP. Sorry. This is a limitation of DirectX and the revised driver model in Vista and 7.

Ah, that's what I was afraid of. The SlimDX site says that it supports Windows XP though? Is that no longer accurate?

Okay, how do I use the D3D9 components with SlimDX? Or can I? Sorry, I'm a complete noob when it comes to this.

D'oh, nevermind! I just noticed the following using-statement in the tutorials: "using SlimDX.Direct3D11;" So I need to change that to "using SlimDX.Direct3D9;"
