Hi all,
I have a very specific problem here. We use Windows embedded standard 7 (WES7) with a custom shell. This means, that we don't have a Taskbar. Without the taskbar, VLC seems to not use hardware acceleration. VLC logs, that idirect3d9_createdevice (or so) failed.
if I enable the taskbar, what is not a reas option, vlc runs properly.
Any ideas, how to work around this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Michael

Re: Hardware Acceleration w/o Taskbar
Taskbar shouldn't cause issues for DirectX AFAIK. Maybe it is the preview thingy that fails when there is no taskbar.
Re: Hardware Acceleration w/o Taskbar
why is the hardware acceleration disabled, when the preview thingy fails?

Re: Hardware Acceleration w/o Taskbar
This has nothing to do with preview.why is the hardware acceleration disabled, when the preview thingy fails?
If idirect3d9_createdevice fails, you have no acceleration, which is expected.

Re: Hardware Acceleration w/o Taskbar
That is a good question, and I don't know. You need to debug it, to know that.

Re: Hardware Acceleration w/o Taskbar
Do other DX 9 programs work correctly?
