Have you used the pointer? (Have you initialized D3D8?)
Try initializing it to NULL, when you declare it.

You probably are either trying to release an uninitialized pointer, releasing the same pointer multiple times, or releasing the interface after the COM library is already shutdown in the device''s thread.
