Hi Shawn,
When J3D initialize, it will try to load D3D library,
LoadLibrary("ddraw.dll");
and verify that it is 7.0 and latest :
lpDDEnumEx = (LPDIRECTDRAWENUMERATEEX) GetProcAddress(h,
"DirectDrawEnumerateExA");
if (!lpDDEnumEx) {
// try Unicode
lpDDEnumEx = (LPDIRECTDRAWENUMERATEEX) GetProcAddress(h,
"DirectDrawEnumerateExW");
}
It it fails, a dialog box will appear to ask for proper
D3D installation and the canvas3d remain blank.
You may need to set path to the library ddraw.dll
in some case.
I assume that you've solve the above problem in order to
see the problem that driver crash.
For the second problem, it crash in the library provide by
vendor instead of our library J3D.DLL, there are many possibility,
it might be a buggy driver or our library pass invalid information
down to D3DIM700.
Can you please try two things :
(i) Run your program in another graphics card e.g. GeForce/TNT2
to see if the problem can be reproduced.
(ii) Run your program in emulation mode
Java -Dj3d.d3ddevice=emulation
If the problem can be reproduced in other graphics card,
please send us a test case so that we can take a look.
Thanks.
- Kelvin
