I have encountered the same old problem, I thought I already solved a long time ago. I have a full screen application. When I have an error in my application I throw an exception. This cause many of my classes to call dtr, include my D3DDevice class, which then call Release. Then I use a simple windows dialog to present the error. However, there is a black screen left from the full version mode, and if I try to show a message box, it is not seen. But I know its "there" because of the sound made by trying to click somewhere and bu pressing Enter it is "freed". So how do I return the window mode properly? Thanks in advance.
