I sample a pixel with dbPoint to a DWORD, then I clean it to keep the color data :

couleur = couleur&0x00ffffff;

On all tested machines (many! This code has been there for almost two years!), this works.

But I have one customer on whose machine the pixels aren't the same color! Here's an example, A being normal, B being him...

A:111111110000000000000000
B:111111101111111000000000

A:000000001111111111111111
B:000000001111111011111110

It seems the last bit of some bytes have problems. Does that mean anything to anyone?!

If he's running in 16bit mode, rather than 32bit mode, will the value vary? I'm not sure if dbPoint acts on a perpixel or direct memory access. You could try performing the test on your system for both 32bit and 16bit video modes to see if the colour information varies.

No variation in 16bits. Anyways, the display is set to 32 bits in the game...

High endian and low endian possibly?

Good idea, but not that either!
