dbGetTextureNonLocalVideoMemory() crashes my computer no matter where I call it. Not sure why. All I know is that its the only 3D availability function that does it. And all I would need to do is use a try/catch block, but I would think (hope) that all the DGSDK functions would already do that. This is the error:

Unhandled exception at 0x005b0780 in Game.exe: 0xC00000FD: Stack overflow.

My system specs are:
Windows XP Pro
1.6GHz P4
512MB RAM
ATI 9600XT

Oh and much of the documentation for the 3D availability functions do not match the header file.

The standard C++ exception mechanism will not catch this type of machine exception. You need to use the MS exception handling system instead.

I would put an example up, but there's a perfectly good one in the Visual Studio docs. Just search for __try, __except and __finally (each of those have 2 underscore characters).
