RGB Device problem

Okay, I''ve been trying to figure this one out for at least three days now. I was wondering if anyone could enlighten me as to where the problem may be. I''m trying to draw a transparent bitmap using TLVERTEX. Doing it using HAL works fine, however when I switch over to using an RGB device, it doesn''t show anything plus I get the following messages in the output window fo VC++: Direct3D7: (WARN) :SpanInit: No fast path rasterizer chosen Direct3D7: (INFO) rofile:DrawPrimitive(Device7):TRIANGLESTRIP:D3DTLVERTEX Direct3D7: (INFO) Rast)Non primitive operation operation in DrawPrimitives2 I can''t figure out what those messages mean about "SpanInit" and the "non primitive" operation. Thanks for any help!
