Hi there i recently started kicking with directx basics and i learnt something good. I compiled my first directx9 program. There are no errors in my program. Im supposed to a see blue color filled windowed application.However when i compile the program my window opens and then closes immediately. Im using windows 7 Professional and compiling with the visual C++ 2008 express edition. i have set the additional dependencies column in the input of the linker tab in project properties to "d3d9.lib". Please help. Cheers Jay

Your first step should be enabling the debug DirectX runtimes and check whether there aren't any error codes reported from DirectX.
