MDX - Xp64 - Debug Output

Hi, I'm new to those forums. The community seems nice. Tho, you guessed right, I have a problem. I would like to get greater details in my VS2005 Output than : "Additional information: Error in the application." I have read the Forum FAQs in order to get into the DX Control Panel. I switched to Debug mode using Full Details (slider bar on the left in the Dx9 page). I tried using DebugView from microsoft but i'm not sure how to use it exactly. So nothing gets captured at all. No Details in my VS2005 output. No Reason to crash. Tech Details : I am running under WinXP64 with VisualStudio 2005 I Tried using April 2007's DX SDK at first. Then I downloaded June 2007's version yesterday without any better results. (of course, I installed the whole package.) EDIT : Re-installing SDK + re-downloading debugview made it work at last. I get Information in DebugView.. Alas, the information provided won't help me at all! I don't know how to read it ;\ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=- For those who are willing to help me about my code, that would be my next Question : Why does it Actually crash on runtime! Overview : I'm trying to Load a Mesh from a file provided by a CD from a tutorial book -> Managed DirectX 9 - Graphics and Game Programming (Kick Start) Both my code and their Source code crash on runtime when trying to read from the file :

mesh = Mesh.FromFile(file, MeshFlags.Managed, device, out mtrl);

EDIT : I am compiling using a x64 processor but using x86 build Using a Try/Catch statement gives me a Null Exception Error. Upon debugging using break points, I can tell that only mtrl's Value is set to NULL at that time. mtrl is an "ExtendedMaterial[] mtrl". Anyways, if you need more details about anything, just ask me. I'm not very good with english at first, and very new to DX. Your help would be greatly appreciated! EDIT : Here's the DebugView results... Any help decoding the stuff would be greatly appreciated

i think the easiest thing to do here is to show the code.

it isn't quite large anyways.
