So I bought a killer little netbook (Asus 1201N), put 4 gb of RAM on it and looked forward to using W7 64 bit on it.
Well...the thing runs very, very fast but one thing I would like it to run is the application I wrote that i use in my R2-D2.
That program uses DirectX so input from the game pad plays sounds.
Like Vista, when a program crashes, Windows wants to fix it. You don't get any real error message. You get a Dr Watson like error that requires a debugging tool to find out wtf blew up :mad:
Anyone have any W7 64-bit tips with DirectX and so forth?

LePaul,
not sure if I follow what you are asking, but why not just install windbg and attach the de-bugger to the thread in question?
Cheers

That's like a 680mb ISO install, unless MS linked me to something incorrect?

No the windbg 32 bit is around 20 mb and the 64 bit is around 25 mb...
for the symbols you do not need to download them you can use the the following link: note the G:\Symbols is where I store the the cashed symbols used....
SRV*G:\Symbols* http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols
just copy and paste this into the symbol file path source.
this way the symbols are allways up to date as you read them fro micorsoft's server.

LePaul....
Sorry about that I did not realize that they had put everything in to one package now... I have the ISO... I will check and see if the windbg package can be extracted and let you know...
Cheers
