Setting Max FPS
Author
I have been searching around for days and could not find something, so I am asking here.
How do I set the max fps in DirectX 9 ??
What about Win32 ??
You have to control the FPS yourself. If you want a maximum FPS of 100, for example, just make sure you don't render a new frame unless 10ms have passed.

How can I achive that?
EDIT:
I mean that although my program is not complicated and "heavy", it loops so many times a second that it uses all the available CPU making the system run slower.

Implement a timer. Under win32, the basic time function is timeGetTime, but it's not very accurate so there's also QueryPerformanceCounter+QueryPerformanceFrequency for high-quality timing.
You'd use these in your main loop to measure how long it's been since the loop last ran. If it's too soon, do something else, like calling Sleep.
