I am writing an app using Direct3D, DirectInput, and unmanaged C++. When I exit my application a windows error sound is created and I get "The thread 'Win32 Thread' (0xe8c) has exited with code 3 (0x3)" in my Output window. I keep successive iterations of my builds, and three builds ago it was not generating this code in the Output Window, nor was I getting the beep. I have been programming without my speakers on since three builds ago so I have only recently noticed the sound and error code. I have not found any information on "code 3". Does anybody know what this is? My Code runs fine, except I am getting this annoying sound when I exit the app. I know for sure that the problem is not with the DirectInput because I haven't touch it for many many builds ago. I have been working with shaders recently. If anybody could let me know what this error code is...or point me to a useful resource. Thanks. ps. I also used the error lookup tool in the .Net framework and it says that error value 3 is "The system cannot find the path specified". I don't know if this is the right tool to use for this error code. ty

Thanks LessBread,

When I typed that into google before I didn't wrap quotes around it and I didn't get any information. Thanks...I'll poke around google for a bit.
