Hello, I have a problem rendering a simple sprite from my book tutorial and from any website tutorial that I've found. When I run the application, the screen is completely black, the sprite does not show. But the thing is, if I change the Type Driver from D3D10_DRIVER_TYPE_HARDWARE to D3D10_DRIVER_TYPE_REFERENCE, it works just fine (slow, but fine). My graphics card is Radeon HD 4870x2 so I should have directx 10 support. I have the latest drivers and august 2008 SDK. My operating system is Vista 64-bit Ultimate. One of the example codes can be found here: http://www.kevindonde.com/downloads/KevinDonde_D3D10_MultipleSpriteTut_092007.rar from this tutorial: http://www.kevindonde.com/index.php/tutorial-4-multiple-sprites-in-directx-10/ Looking forward for reply! Edit: an interesting note, a friend who runs it sees the sprites just fine.

Have you tried running your application with the debug layer activated? Maybe it can give you a hint what’s going wrong.
