HWA and Vista

[Bruto]

hey Yves,

I've tested one HWA application in my Dell PC, that has an onboard intel video card with no Direct3D support (according to dxdiag report). The Vista refuses to load it... isn't HWA supposed to roll back to software rendering if it doesn't find conditions to run it properly? Let me know if you'd like a complete report for hardware/configurations.

BTW, I placed a GeForce card there, installed the drivers and then it worked.

Yes if it cannot start in D3D mode it will switch to non accelerated mode. Did it display an error message or nothing?

Yes, the windows displayed a message that "window encountered a message and must close". But it's not the regular crash message that I've seen before in some circumstances. It seems like it was not MMF2 saying "I'm having a problem and will close", but Windows saying "For some reason I can't run this program and will close".

In this machine I was using windows Vista Home Basic 32bit.. may this be the problem?
