Hi,

It seems that Microsoft has problems with DirectX under WinXP and AMD-CPU's.....
Some games won't run because of that.....

Hi,

No as it's not AMD's fault, it's Microsoft's, they screwed big time.....
As it doesn't happen in any other OS but XP with DirectX 8.1....

Bas,

Here is the exact code problem:

CAUSE

The DrawIndexedPrimitive function stops working without displaying an error or debug message. This occurs because of a code error in the AMD-specific optimized code. This code error may lead to heap corruption.

Take Care,

Richard

yeh, amd is innocent, a saint of a company, its all Microsoft's fault. AMD's coverup of the agp 2x limitation on some via chipset was also not their fault...
