Which version of Direct3D are you using?

Plus, Retained Mode is evil.

You''ll need d3drm.lib and the last version of the DXSDK that shipped with that library was DX7a.

Indeed...D3DRM was/is pure eviiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiil

If you need the old SDK/Lib, check out this place. There are probably other places out there (that are in English

), but this was the first I could find.

Not only is Retained Mode evil, but it only gets more evil over time. At work we have Retained Mode apps that we have to maintain, and it gets harder and harder. Because Retained Mode hasnt been supported for so long bugs and incompatibilities have crept in and made it virtually unusable for a commercial app (IMO).

If they are virtually unusable and such a pain to support, why can''t you just upgrade them? It sounds like it would save you much more time in the long run.
