What could be wrong with my function :
  
HRESULT InitD3D()
{
	Write2Log("Initializing D3D...") ;
	if (NULL==(g_pD3D=Direct3DCreate9(D3D_SDK_VERSION)))
	{
		Write2Log("Failed to get right SDK version!") ;
		return E_FAIL ;
	}
		Write2Log("D3D object received.") ;
	
	ZeroMemory (&d3dpp, sizeof(d3dpp)) ;
	d3dpp.Windowed = FALSE ;
	d3dpp.SwapEffect = D3DSWAPEFFECT_DISCARD ;
	d3dpp.BackBufferFormat = D3DFMT_R5G6B5 ;
	d3dpp.BackBufferWidth = g_nScreenX ;
	d3dpp.BackBufferHeight = g_nScreenY ;

	HRESULT hresult ;
	hresult=g_pD3D->CreateDevice(D3DADAPTER_DEFAULT, 
								 D3DDEVTYPE_HAL, 
								 g_hwnd,
								 D3DCREATE_SOFTWARE_VERTEXPROCESSING,
								 &d3dpp, 
								 &g_pd3dDevice) ;
	
	if (hresult=D3DERR_INVALIDCALL)
	{
		Write2Log("Incorrect parameter in CreateDevice function") ;
		return E_FAIL ;
	}

	if (hresult=D3DERR_NOTAVAILABLE)
	{
		Write2Log("Device not available.") ;
		return E_FAIL ;
	}

	if (hresult=D3DERR_OUTOFVIDEOMEMORY)
	{
		Write2Log("Graphic adapter is out of memory.") ;
		return E_FAIL ;
	}

	return D3D_OK ;
} // end of HRESULT InitD3D()

  
In my log file I get the following error : Incorrect parameter in CreateDevice function So is there something wrong in my d3dpp paramters or in my parameters in my CreateDevice() function? thanx in advance

use == instead of = in your if block

if (hresult=D3DERR_INVALIDCALL) //error
if (hresult==D3DERR_INVALIDCALL) //correct

No, that isn''t the reason.

In

hresult=g_pD3D->CreateDevice(D3DADAPTER_DEFAULT, D3DDEVTYPE_HAL, g_hwnd, D3DCREATE_SOFTWARE_VERTEXPROCESSING, &d3dpp, &g_pd3dDevice);

One of the parameters passed is either missing, spelled incorrectly or need to be casted.
Wildwest is right tho. doing

if (hresult=D3DERR_INVALIDCALL)
{

}

will always execute the code inside. it''s because the = actually returns the value. so HRESULT becomes D3DERR_INVALIDCALL, and that is returned to the IF, evaluates to true, and writes to the log..

so change those too while you''re at it
