but i got stuck on directx11 3rd tutorial . http://www.rastertek.com/dx11tut03.html
my problem is i can't initialize directx 11 properly it gives me error ''Could not initialize Direct3D.''
i'm using win7, visual c++ and have latest directx sdk june 2010 . i have given paths to include folder and library folder in properties . there are very long pages of coding in d3dclass.cpp which is very hard to follow up and find the error(with very limited knowledge in directx11). i have downloaded c++ project files,exe and source from the site(rastertek.com) but still no luck .
btw can this error cause by out dated video card ? i have entry level video card , 310m geforce 512MB . but i can run sample directx11 files and codes shipped with directx without any issue.
i'm frustrated from this issue
, hope someone can help me.. thanks in advance
this is the initialize function as i think which fails ,

) yes , my gfx card only support up to dx10.1 , but is it possible to continue dx11 tutorials using this hardware? is this the only change in code ? (i know, it can't be) .
