Graphics create failed

For some while now I have been getting 'startup error -- graphics create failed' when trying to run programs, but *only* if I have debug mode enabled *and* I have 'include' files.

Has anyone else experienced this, and/or knows how to fix it?

I've had Blitz do that on occasion, but only when another compiled Blitz app was already running, like Gile[s].

that happens frequently for me. as i recall, it's only started happening since installing directx 9.0.

I only have that if another app is running that uses its DirectX interface on exclusive base.

Got it! I've got WindowBlinds running. Switch that off, and all is fine. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

why on earth were you rinning Windowblinds?????

people like pretty unique gui skins for windows :P

Worth noting that, cheers Eric! :)
