well, i'm currently using a diffrent pc then i used last time(had probs last time also) the 1 computer was windows xp, and my new laptop's windows vista, anyways here's the error i get when i try to login the game:

Run-Time error '-2005532292 (8876017c)';

Automoation error

then in the source it shows the error on this line: Set DD_TileSurf = DD.CreateSurfaceFromFile(FileName & "tiles" & GFX_EXT, DDSD_Tile)

and i haven't editted the source at all just dl'd and tried to login, also i've already 'searched' and found a few threads relating to this problem, and i really found no solution besides in williams thread it said 2 try and re register a .dll file(cuz it could be a prob with windows) well i did and it still didn't help lol

I haven't had any experience running my source on a Vista based PC, so my suggestions are based on what I know of existing errors of this type on XP systems.

My first suggestion would be to alter all the lines in Sub InitSurfaces in the Dev and Game clients from

Code:
.ddsCaps.lCaps = DDSCAPS_OFFSCREENPLAIN Or DDSCAPS_VIDEOMEMORY

to
Code:
.ddsCaps.lCaps = DDSCAPS_OFFSCREENPLAIN Or DDSCAPS_SYSTEMMEMORY

If that doesn't do it, then maybe DX7 needs re-installing.

Can't be much more help than that I'm afraid.

Ah, yes, I've seen that picture somewhere before, lol.

It happens because the backbuffer isn't cleared before the next frame gets blitted to it.
The quick fix is popping this little bit of code into Sub GameLoop in both the dev and game clients.
Code:
With rec
    .Top = 0
    .Bottom = (MAX_MAPY + 1) * PIC_Y
    .Left = 0
    .Right = (MAX_MAPX + 1) * PIC_X
End With
DD_BackBuffer.BltColorFill rec, RGB(0, 0, 0)

Put it just after the check to see if the surfaces need restoring at the top of the sub.
Code:
' Check if we need to restore surfaces
If NeedToRestoreSurfaces Then
    DD.RestoreAllSurfaces
    Call InitSurfaces
End If

That should sort that out.

N.B. I noticed some more of my code in modDirectX is stuffed up too.
Where the surfaces are intialised.

Make your own thread instead of bumping resolved ones.
