I have installed DarkShader but when i will start it i get the following error message: "There has occured a fault in DarkShader.exe there for it has to be closed." and then it exit's.

I use Visual C++ 2008 + Dark GDK + Windows XP Home.

XP Home should NOT be an issue - but if you ever get a chance to get it - XP Pro is a little more robust.

your error MIGHT be your GFX card not supporting the necessary SHADER version Support.

Or it might be a problem with the shader version being too old, DirectX Oct 2006 onwards removed support for anything less than vs_2_0 and ps_2_0, make sure the shader technique uses at least these values.

What? Sorry Paul, do you mean that all shaders below 2.0 are not working anymore?

Microsofts statement on this:

Quote: "
New HLSL Shader Compiler for Direct3D 9 Targets: No Support for 1.x Pixel Shader Targets

The December 2006 SDK includes D3DX9_32.DLL. This DLL includes the Direct3D 10 HLSL compiler enabled for Direct3D 9 targets. This compiler supports shader models only beginning with version 2.0. The new compiler has no support for 1.x pixel shader targets. This new compiler is the default for Direct3D 9. As a result, developers are encouraged to author their shaders in HLSL, and to make sure that they are using at least shader model 2.0 hardware. The legacy compiler is available by using the /LD switch.
"


No matter how good your code is, someone will improve on it

I read

Does anyone know if 1.x vertex shaders are still supported?

In the meanwhile i had contact with support department, and they told me that the problem is caused by the videocard.
I now use darkshader on my other computer, and that is working ok!.
Thanks to all for your input.
