• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Distorted texture after lost/reset device

  Hi, I'm drawing a textured mesh using DrawIndexedPrimitive, using an effect interface. After a windowed/full screen toggle the texture appears distorted. Interestingly when I draw another mesh in wireframe mode in the same render call the problem doesn't occur. Can somebody help Nico Depending on where you load the textures to, you need to release them and recreate them. Make sure that you are properly handling them. Look at the Samples in the DirectX SDK install directory and also under lost devices in the documentation. It explains clearly how you must handle a lost device and how to reset it.

• Visual Basic Project Properties Window fails to display

• SQL Server Clearing Single User Mode/lock

  What is the best way to clear Single User mode from SQL Server 2000 I have tried going to all tasks and selecting detach and clear Connections using this database. I then click cancel and go into the properties and options and clear the Restrict access check box. This seems to work some times but not all the times. I think it is because something else connects to it to it while I am going through the above steps. As a last resort I have detached the database and re-attach it. What is causing the single user mode to happen in the first place I am a little confused, the system is going into single use ...Show All
