The application has failed to start because d3d9.dll was not found.  Re-installing the application may fix this problem

i get that error on start

[deadzombie]

Works fine for me... very promising! A quick question: when I activate Expire to 'organize' my running windows, should the background be blue? The app would seem more professional if I could still see my desktop while the windows moved around... but other than that, very nice, very smooth animations. Good work.

Looking nice!

I get a similar problem.

Failed to create the Direct3D Device! Check your Direct3D settings.

Looks like it's coded to video cards that can support Direct3D with Expires' custom settings.

[smoke]

When I start the program it says that it "'Failed to create the Direct3d Device! Expire is switching to default DirectX values. Check your Direct3D settings!'" on my card.

My card is a GeForce2MX400 and it worked with the previous expire beta with the same drivers I am using now.

I get that message as well. When I click "OK" there, I get

Failed to create the Direct3D Device with default settings!  Maybe you card is not supporting the DirectX settings. Exiting now.

and it quits.

I ran dxdiag and did the video tests, they all worked. Running DirectX 9.0b

Using "Intel 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics Controller" (onboard) -- this is a dell computer at work.

[smoke]

Yes I get the second message too.

[rjohnstone]

Ditto here as well... ran all the DXDiags stuff.
Results:
No problems found.
DirectDraw test results: All tests were successful.
Direct3D 7 test results: All tests were successful.
Direct3D 8 test results: All tests were successful.
Direct3D 9 test results: All tests were successful.


by all accounts, it should be working.
Oh well... it is a beta after all.

Ok I fixed my problem, what I did was go to "animations" from the systray icon and pick something. =p

[Flarex]

:cry: All it does is close the app whenever i click a corner of my screen or press F2 F3 or F5...

[smoke]

FlareX that's also what mine did until I did what I said above. You have to open it and go to the systray icon, right click, pick animations and pick something for ordering and soemething for animation.

[Flarex]

That was the first thing i did... It still closes...

How did this fix the problem?
Once the error message pops, the systray icon is useless and the app terminates.

[Flarex]

He restarted the application and then selected sys tray icon and chose an animation?

[mimeryme]

The first thing I did after loading the program was to press F9. That only causes it to "encounter a problem" and then terminate.

I then ran it again and checked the options only to discover that F9 shouldn't do anything. Otherwise, the app works well enough on my Ti4400. I can only turn on 1x Antialiasing though. (Looking at my Graphics Card settings, it looks as if I should be able to do at most 4x.)

this is brilliant
and i haven't got any errors yet...
