SystemError : Surfaces could not be created. [..000. & Direct3D HAL] Failed to create a D3D Device from BackBuffer Surface

That is the error message. I just want to get down to some game programming where I don't have to sit for ours in front of a blue c++ screen debugging, does anyone know a quickfix to this or this sort of problem?

oh! I read around, and found that people have problems with XP. I am using XP professional, and I have the trial version of DB, is that why it won't work?
