    Ok, what i'm doing is pretty simple, I blitt a surface on the back buffer, but I get a totally unrecognizable error!!!! -2147024809 Have you ever heard of that -2147024809 !!! And this only happens with this surface array!

    In my code:
    Code:
        A = Back.BltFast(Mouse.x - 64, Mouse.y - 16, tlTerrain(1, 1), CreateRect(0, 0, 0, 0), DDBLTFAST_WAIT Or DDBLTFAST_SRCCOLORKEY)
    Select Case A
        Case 0
        Case DDERR_EXCEPTION
        Case DDERR_GENERIC
        Case DDERR_INVALIDOBJECT
        Case DDERR_INVALIDPARAMS
        Case DDERR_INVALIDRECT
        Case DDERR_NOBLTHW
        Case DDERR_SURFACEBUSY
        Case DDERR_SURFACELOST
        Case DDERR_UNSUPPORTED
        Case DDERR_WASSTILLDRAWING
        Case Else
            MsgBox A 'shows -2147024809
    End Select

    From the DirectX Help:
    Code:
    Error Codes
If the method fails, it can return one of the following: 

	DDERR_EXCEPTION  
	DDERR_GENERIC  
	DDERR_INVALIDOBJECT  
	DDERR_INVALIDPARAMS  
	DDERR_INVALIDRECT  
	DDERR_NOBLTHW  
	DDERR_SURFACEBUSY  
	DDERR_SURFACELOST  
	DDERR_UNSUPPORTED  
	DDERR_WASSTILLDRAWING
    Code:
    Error Codes
Errors are represented by negative values and cannot be combined. This table lists the values that can be returned by all methods of the DirectDraw7, DirectDrawSurface7, DirectDrawPalette, and DirectDrawClipper objects. For a list of the error codes that each method can return, see the method description.

    Have you figured out what it is yet? It sounds quite interesting.
    "Can't" and "shouldn't" are two totally separate things.

    All questions should be answered. All answers should be true. That is why I post.

    maybe these aren't predefined and you have to define them:

    DDERR_EXCEPTION
    DDERR_GENERIC
    DDERR_INVALIDOBJECT
    DDERR_INVALIDPARAMS
    DDERR_INVALIDRECT
    DDERR_NOBLTHW
    DDERR_SURFACEBUSY
    DDERR_SURFACELOST
    DDERR_UNSUPPORTED
    DDERR_WASSTILLDRAWING

    Probably not your problem, but Managed DirectDraw from DX9 throws an exception whenever you try to blit something that touches pixel 0,0 on the back buffer.
