Display problems on my trial version

I'm using the BlitzMAX trial version, just to check if it's worth it (I have Blitz+) but i found so many problems on my office windows 2000, that i am beginning to wonder...

When compiling and running a few of the samples just about 90% doesn't work.

For most examples that use the graphics command (Example Graphics 640, 480, 32) i get:
Unhandled Exception: SetDisplayMode Failed result=-2147467263

In the RockoutGui example the debugger stops at the following line:

canvas:TGadget = CreateCanvas (0, 0, ClientWidth (window), ClientHeight (window) - 48, window)

I get the folowing error:
Unhandled Exception: CreateDevice Failed result=-2147024882

What's wrong???

Forget the blitzmax trial on windows.

it is nearly 20 months old and will more or less not work with any graphics if you don't have a real graphiccard (AMD or NVIDIA non onboard)

the graphics module has been replaced since then and works now. Especially it got DX7 support, not only OpenGL as back then.

The app is well worth the money. Give it a try.
