UPDATE: problem solved, so minimized in code snippet due to much negative vibes.
Hi, I'm running Windows XP and I'm becoming increasingly unhappy with the more recent version of DBPro. I have DirectX 9.0c. In fact, I used the DirectX 10 installer provided by Microsoft, and when that didn't work, I used the 9.0c redistributable provided by a couple different websites and those didn't work. This isn't the first time I've had this problem, although this is the first time I've been unable to make it work. I've had to do some weird DX rain dance every time I wanted to play my game on anything other than Vista. What's worse, my game is 100% 2D--no pixel shading, no mega-anisotrophic filtering, no advanced hardware rendering, nothing--and the old versions allowed me to play it on whatever I wanted to. Is it just me, or is TGC trending towards being compatible only with Windows Vista 64-bit quad-core hyperthreading hardware-accelerated whatever computers, regardless of actual hardware requirements of the programs involved? Anyone have any thoughts on this issue?
