Try 16 then.
Do not use 8 or 24-bit as they aren't supported.

What graphics card do you have? If it's on-board then you're going to have a lot of trouble making games.

@MonaLisa - Yeah, I thought this was pretty ironic 'Program Expert' makes a title "I NEED HELP!"...

Don't go down that road. Many have been there never to return. The Flames of Hell will rain down on you, and 'tis a long road back.

You'll find that most people around these parts know 5+ languages, and are pretty adept too.

The language is just a syntax, it's how you apply it that matters.

To get an answer will require the relevent system specs.

What is your Video Card or Video System?
What is your System Memory?
What type of computer are you using?

What is your system speed (CPU and speed actually)?
What Operating System are you using?

Not every element is needed to get suggestions but it is always better to provide as much info as you can instead of not enough.

Also show the line of code or better yet a section of your code for review.

How about DirectX 9.0b? The 'b' makes a big difference.

May do - or may not do...
Likewise upgrading your video drivers might do.

The only thing different about DirectX 9.0c is that it supports vertex and pixel shaders that are version 3.0. As of now, the only card that supports it is the 6800 ($350), being that nVidia just released the new drivers yesterday (the 28th).

ATI will probably do something soon.

I really liked your comment BatVink =)

Well, in the same way or thought that the original question...
I went on vacation in a lost village not so long ago where i found an old PC (the video cart was native DX2... needless to say, old)
I used to install DBPRO + DX9B (with some work... to be able to use DDraw at least)
I could've use evey text command like cls, print, blabla... BUT : conversion vars and input commands, when inserted in the code, gave me an "error at line 0, hardware not recognized" if i remember well...
If i had written a line like MAKE MATRIX... I would understand... but could anyone tell me why input commands and str$,chr$,val... and perhaps other commands use D3D or video implentation???

DBP is loaded with strange dependencies, and some commands that you think would be in one DLL are in fact in another. so the str$, chr$, val$ commands might be in a DLL that loads a 3D DLL for some reason, thus causing the error. it's probably because of ad-hoc design (I never program like that, nooooo ).


that's right. DBP fanboy through and through. SEXAAAAAAY

Actually, I wouldn't be suprised. Current SGI systems typically have 48 bit colour, which is just 12 bit RGBA. ATI have been using 40 bit for a while. I think nVidia even started doing that. I wouldn't be suprised if there was a 16 bit per component card being used. Render farms are a bit useless to say what their colour depth is, as they don't need to display anything in the first place.

But then the question is, how many monitors will any of this make the slightest difference on?

Well, the proc isn't really the deal buster in his setup, it's the fact that his graphics card doesn't meet the minimum requirements.
