No, the device should be right. You should be able to look in the little locals/watch debugging window and check which variable is null at the time of the exception (or put a breakpoint there if it's crashing the first time).
I didn't have the texture in the right directory :P. Both Sprite and the Texture are not null, but new exception.

From what i see, your program shouldnt compile. For me, there is no overload for Draw2D: Sprite.Draw2D(Texture,Rectangle,Size,Point,Color); I have been having a problem using Sprite interface, basically i am making a 2D game, i tried using Textured quads and i simply cannot get the alpha to work or the color key, i have tried every possible combination of settings etc. So i decided to use the sprite interface but this has its problems... first, with Sprite.Draw() i cannot set a destination Rectangle size, so it is no good for wat i need. So i will use Draw2D() but this is very odd. When i try to use it, the render is very wierd and everything is in the wrong place... i cannot fix it i have tried all the overloads for this function. Basically, all i need is a blitting function which supports alpha transparency and/or color keying. This is how i got to this post, i was searching for help on google, hopefully i can get some help here... thx!
