I have a small DX application which runs in a window (DDSCL_NORMAL) but if I specify DDSCAPS_COMPLEX in the capabilities flags the program crashes. I was intending to use DX back buffering, and, although it''s not essential for what I am doing, I wondered if the crash was due to DX back buffering not being available to windowed mode?

Install/switch to debug DX runtime and run your program under debugger. Set debug output level in DX control panel to maximum. If your crash has something to do with DX, it should complain.
