DirectX 8 SDK and the Clear function not working!

[Randomaxess]

Hey all!

I'm running a Windows 98 (not SE) machine with no graphics accelarator and DirectX 8.0 SDK. I'm using the Visual C++ 6.0 Compiler. I haven't, however, updated it with service packs.

My main thing is this: when i created a DirectDraw Device (named m_pD3DDevice, i wanted to clear the screen and fill it blue. So i use the Clear function, like so:

m_pD3DDevice ->Clear(0, NULL, D3DCLEAR_TARGET, D3DCOLORXRGB(0,0,255), 1.0f, 0);

it compiles properly, but i get an error when i try to run it. When i open the Debug for it, it points to the last 0 that is passed to the Clear function. What's wrong? I can't seem to figure it out! Is it just a windows problem or what?

Hmm, I don't have the DirectX 8 SDK, what are the params for Clear()?

it might sound stupid but are you absolutely sure that you have the latest DX (not the SDK) installed and that your vid card drivers are working correctly?
