Keep getting Unhandled Exception in Demo version

I was going to try out the demo version of BlitzMAX but recieve the following exception on all examples and source: - Unhandled Exception:CreateDevice Failed result=-2147024882 Any ideas? My PC is a Dell Dimension 5150 (less than a year old). Thanks, Kevin. |

Have you got a 3D graphics cartd with, at least, DX7 and updated OGL drivers? Anyway this looks remarkably similar. |
| ||
Try adding:SetGraphicsDriver GLMax2DDriver()At the start of the code. It sounds like there is a problem with your DirectX graphics driver. |
| ||
Doesn't the demo default to GL anyway? In which case you'd need SetGraphicsDriver D3D7Max2DDriver() instead. I deleted a lot of the sample code on here, so I can't check whether or not the samples specify a graphics driver or just use the default one. |
| ||
Setting the 'SetGraphicsDriver GLMax2DDriver()' has got the examples working. Examples now run, although extremely slow! I guess I need to look at the graphics card/drivers Thanks. |

Just my luck, finally (yes, after a month), I finally sort out the drivers only to have the demo expire! It's a pity that the demo wasn't done to allow a limited amount of uses. |
