you could verify its in your code by taking the code from my screensaver
article and running it all the ways you are running your crashing
screensaver. if the code from the article works, then its your code.
that would verify its not screensavers or D3D or the driver in general.
there is no other way to determine app-specific issues but to debug them.
then the standard debugging questions apply.
