First of all - the VC++ compiler (when I click DEBUG) Says no Debug info - So no stepping through code I presume? DarkGDK seems to have symbols removed.
Then - using the DarkGDK sample program in the CHM help file:
#include "DarkGDK.h"
void DarkGDK ( void )
{
dbSyncOn ( );
while ( LoopGDK ( ) )
{
dbSync ( );
}
}
I get the following errors - though the application runs. (Note I have the DarkGDK GDK_120307 Patch installed and The recommended DirectX SDK and Platform SDK: (Warning lots of error messages)

If this many Direct3D9 errors are occuring in the most simple program, how efficient is my program going to be if DirectX API is constantly dealing with these kinds of errors and handling them the best way it can? That is overhead. Hopefully this is just my PC's config or something - though I doubt it. I've followed all the help and suggestions etc.
Most disconcerting is the first error with regards to BeginScene already started. Does DarkGDK call this twice?
This is puzzling to me - and a bit frustrating admittedly.
[edit] I took this to VS2003 - Where the option to "Start DirectX Debugging" is available - and the same error messages more or less show up. Now the application runs - but something is going on that probably shouldn't. Still Stumped. (Was hoping the "Compiled without Debug symbols" thing was part of my problem - but it isn't. I can not step though code and I'm a bit worried about lots of unneccessary code being run within DirectX api because of a flaws. I hope the flaws are my own because I can fix em ... sometimes
