I have converted a programme developed under XP Home Edition using VC++6 and DirectX 8 to Vista Home Premium (SP1) using C++2008 Express Edition and DirectX 9 (including DirectX 8 Include and Library files). The program compiles OK but when I run it I get an error message: "Unhandled exception at 0x607d24d1 in Alpha1.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000144". The program is failing at a call : "g_pD3DDevice->Present(NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);" Windowed (TRUE), SwapEffect (D3DSWAPEFFECT_DISCARD), BackBufferFormat (set to Adapter Display Mode format) and EnableAutoDepthStencil (FALSE) presentation parameters are set as indicated. The program does not throw up this error if I comment out the call.

Any advice or help would be much appreciated.
