The same problem was addressed in this thread.

download the SDK extras from oct.2004 and then link with the new d3dx9.lib that it comes with. It fixes this problem. It is because vc6.0 is no longer supported but of course microsoft released a fix for it

Recent versions of DX don't support Visual C++ 6.0. I think that there are workarounds, though..... perhaps someone else can chime in about that.

EDIT: Dude, beaten to the punch by four seconds. That was totally Ra.

try adding a global to your project called ___security_cookie

DWORD ___security_cookie = 0;

Forum FAQ: I'm having major problems building my DirectX programs with VC++ 6. What could be the problem?
