Thanks everybody for trying the Core Demo. It seems a lot of people of having trouble (especially those with Win2k). It seems Win2k doesn''t like the way I''m working with multithreading and using events for streaming sound - something I hadn''t seen coming. I uploaded a patch called CoreUpdate.zip that contains a new CoreDemo.exe file that disables the sound features of the demo so that you can get a glimpse of the demo (w/o sound). Has anybody else had a problem like that with Win2k? Thanks, Jim Adams PS - link to update is: http://home.att.net/~rpgbook/CoreUpdate.zip Jim Adams home.att.net/~rpgbook Programming Role-Playing Games with DirectX 8

Hi Jim,

I''m having problems running your demo, I just get a white screen and when I click the left mouse button the screen turns black. I click the LMB several times the screen jumps from black to white and finally exists.

Bad news, I''m afraid. When the demo starts the screen goes black and when I press the LMB it goes white and when I press ESC it goes black again (or if it was the other way around).

I''m using Win98, got a GeForce256, this was the updated Core-thing also...
