Not much info to go on, but I''ll take a shot.

Using untransformed vertices (x,y,z, but no rhw?, FVF:D3DFVF_XYZ) and your coordinates have the top left corner at 0,0,0 or something similar?

Untransformed vertices are in model space. You use the World matrix to map the to world space. To do a 2D display use Transformed vertices (D3DFVF_XYZRHW) which are already in screen space, then you can use standard screen coordinates.

Stay Casual,

OR use the d3dx sprite interface - it is perfect for UI purposes and, in my experience, is very quick.
