Title: Vista & Desktop VR *solution*
Post by: ZaPPZion on January 17, 2008, 01:30:06 AM

Hi,

I found this info at the boards, and thought it should be easier to find, so that's why i made this thread.
I noticed that there's a directX error when you launch the desktop vr program with Vista. I came accross this solution:
Turn off the visual themes in the compatibility tab (as in the screenshot), that fixes the problem.

Thanks. I solve the problem by this method, too.

But this address the symptoms, not the cause.

I'm a rookie of DirectX develop, so I spend few hours to find bug.

The program always stop at this line:

device.Clear(ClearFlags.Target | ClearFlags.ZBuffer, System.Drawing.Color.Black, 1.0f, 0);

Or all objects about "device". And cause errors:

A first chance exception of type 'Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.InvalidDataException' occurred in Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3DX.dll
A first chance exception of type 'Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.InvalidCallException' occurred in Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.dll

So anyone can solve it?
