Hello
I am trying to get some of my simple DirectX 8.1 applications working under Vista Feb CTP.
The programs starts OK but when it comes time to bind to the DirectX 8.1 object it fails to Initialize. It is as if DirectX 8.x is not there.
I have installed the Redist of DX 8.1b but Vista keeps blocking my app from detecting it
I read that DirectX 9, 8 and 7 apps will need to run in Compatibility mode to work under Vista When will this compatibility mode be operational. I have tried the Run my app as “Windows XP (Serive Pack 2)” compatible but this does not work
Any ideas
DX 8.1 app not working in Vista Feb CTP

I have been trying to find a way to get my 8.1 DX code to work in Vista, I think I have to get my code to share the video card and not use it in exclusive mode.
My code crashes here:
m_bInit = D3DUtil_Init(Me.hwnd, True, 0, 0, D3DDEVTYPE_HAL, Nothing)
