If you have an attached backbuffer to the primary surface in directx7 for flipping, do you need to release the backbuffer (lpBackbuffer->Release()) as well as you do the primary(lpPrimary->Release()) or other surfaces?

actually, i didn''t think you did.
check the DirectX documentation, but i am quite sure it says that any implicitly created surfaces are automatically released.

but i agree - this is probably the wrong place to post

If you used GetAttachedSurface on your Primary buffer to get the back buffer, then all you have to do is release the primary surface.
