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).
