Hi,
I have to maintain some old D3D9 code and I have to use a windows8.1 machine to do it, everything compiles and runs, but I need the debug runtime activating to search down some issues. However, it's been greyed out - eek!
I did find some posts referring to a fix for this: "Using regedit, go to key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Direct3D. The "Trusted Installer" has ownership of this key. Change ownership to Administrators, then grant "Full Access" to the Administrators. Now run the DX Control Panel (as admin, of course). Now the changes should be saved."
Problem is I can't find Direct3D in the registry? I've got DirectDraw/Input/Music/Play/Show/X/XSDK, but no Direct3D.
Anybody got any ideas how to activate the debug runtime? I know the obvious ones are either go back to win7 or upgrade all the code DX11, but sadly neither of those options are practical.
thanks...
