Topic: DirectX 9 and OpenGL dont't work

If I want to use OpenGL or DirectX9, there comes an error (Unable to create Vertex Shader) and the following scene is not correctly displayed. How can I correct this ?

(Sorry for my bad English.)

Re: DirectX 9 and OpenGL dont't work

greetings smile  sounds like the video card you are running doesnt support shaders or has an outdated driver.  a lot of the integrated graphics cards (like Intel) are short on the features side so if you are using one of those as your development machine you may be out of luck.  i would first try to update your video drivers to the latest version.

also, are you running one of the samples or can you provide the code you are running?

Re: DirectX 9 and OpenGL dont't work

the problem is missing directx 9 dll's, do a search on google and you should find the correct ones you need. I recently had this problem after a reinstall.

Re: DirectX 9 and OpenGL dont't work

I noticed that my graphics card has no DirectX9 Shader Support, but DirectX8
is supported. Maybe it works not with Direct3D9 and OpenGL because of this ?

(I ran the sample with the bump and parallax mapping.)
