Hi everybody, Im trying to get the sample to work so i can mess about with it. Now im getting this error when i try to enable the overlay: richTextBox1Error in the application. -2005532527 (DDERR_INVALIDPIXELFORMAT) at Microsoft.DirectX.DirectDraw.Surface..ctor(SurfaceDescription desc, Device dev) at OverlaySample.OverlayManager.RecreateOverlay() in i:\documents and settings\administrator\desktop\overlay\mdx - overlay\overlaymanager.cs:line 292 at OverlaySample.OverlayManager.Resize(Int32 width, Int32 height) in i:\documents and settings\administrator\desktop\overlay\mdx - overlay\overlaymanager.cs:line 222 at OverlaySample.OverlayManager.Initialize(Int32 width, Int32 height, BitsPerPixel bpp) in i:\documents and settings\administrator\desktop\overlay\mdx - overlay\overlaymanager.cs:line 208 at OverlaySample.MainForm.RecreateOverlayManager() in i:\documents and settings\administrator\desktop\overlay\mdx - overlay\mainform.cs:line 371 I looked at the post below saying u should go trough all supported formats but that just away above my knowledge and i have no idea how to do that.

This has been discussed quite a few times.

A quick search of the forums for "MDX Overlay" pulls up a lot of results.

Here are a couple:

Best of luck,
