Are you sure "runner.bmp" file is not corrupt?

EDIT:

I made my own "runner.bmp" file and it worked fine.

Do you have the most current version of DirectX (9.0c I think) installed? Here is a link for Vista related issues:

I didn't see anything wrong with the code, but you could try this.



If that doesn't work you could try this.


And if that doesn't work you should update to the latest version of DirectX.
Or you could try this.


And if that doesn't work.... I don't know???

It might be your version of DBP.

Older versions of DBP do not work on vista, at least not any of the cool stuff.
Such as 3D, sprites, and just about anything graphic.

Hope that helps.
