Newbie DX programmer.

[stmdk]

I decided to leap into DirectX using some tutorials provide here:

http://externalweb.exhedra.com/Direc...R_Lesson03.asp


I can't get this sample to run at all. I get an "Automation Error" with this line in the Renderer sub routine.

'//3. Update the frame to the screen...
'       This is the same as the Primary.Flip method as used in DirectX 7
'       These values below should work for almost all cases...
D3DDevice.Present ByVal 0, ByVal 0, 0, ByVal 0

Any assistance? I can't learn if the examples don't work.
