Video Setting Problem
Author
Hi. WHenever I make a program with the same res and color-setting as my desktop(using either DirectDraw 7 or Direct3D 8), The program won''t work when I run it. It''ll display all the graphics I tell it too, but the mouse cursor will change according to my VC++ IDE. When I click, my program just disappears (it''s still being run by the task manager.) Does anyone have any idea what my problem could be?

The wierd thing is that it does the exact same thing in DirectDraw.

This is a really wierd problem. I''ve asked about it before, and no one''s figured out what was wrong.

I used to have some problems using DirectDraw and I´ve figure out that they were occurring because I was creating DirectDraw in OnFormCreate. Then I moved the code to the OnActivate event and everything worked ok....
