Downloaded and installed the SDK on to my PII 450Mhz 512Mb.
I get an error
" demo.exe has generated errors and will closed by windows......etc etc.
An error log is being generated"

I am running win2000 pro SP4.

I have no idea, what was the error. Check the error log. The etc.. etc.. Really doesn't supply me with enough information for me to spend my time trying to help you. :) Feel free to use some of your time and send the etcs.. :)

Its too early in the morning, what can I say. :)

Mal. You are not an SDK owner. Are you talking about the demo?

Thanks Jeff
Yes, it is the demo I am trying to run. Any suggestions ?

FYI Ben
The etc, etc is nothing more than windows generic error command that is common, telling you that windows is shuting down your application, that's it, not a lot of information to supply to someone. I could not find the log file.

Ahh, cool.
Hmm, not sure where you would find the log either. I will play with it tonight and see if I can get an error. I did manage to get an error that said something like "canvas has already been initialized" or something like that.

I am at work now, so I have to wait to get home..

Later, Ben

Mal,
Sounds like your video drivers are out of date

Don't know if this'll help, but I got the exact same problem when I first downloaded the demo. I tried installing OpenAL, updating my video drivers - nothing worked.

Finally I uninstalled the demo, downloaded the file again, and reinstalled it - this time it worked fine!
