DirectX 8.x interfaces dont like 24-bit mode display modes for windowed operation, iirc. its generally safer to stay with 16 or 32-bit modes.
using the debug runtime and capturing debug output ( either with a debugger or a tool like at sysinternals.com ) can help track things like this down. the S3 Virge is widely known as a "3d decelerator", and is from 1997, so I would highly suggest getting a real 3d card. further if a DX6-level DDI driver isnt available, then the DX8 interfaces wont work either. DXDiag displays the DDI level of the driver in its saved text file. > -----Original Message----- > From: Kelvin Chung [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, April 25, 2002 10:21 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [JAVA3D] DirectX > > > Hi, > > Hardware acceleration is support in your graphics card.
