Re: CreateDevice() returns D3DERR_INVALIDCALL

I have a dialog app where I'd like to have a control that is direct3d

CreateDevice() as below. But, it always fails with the error code
D3DERR_INVALIDCALL (0x8876086c).
I've essentially stolen this function from the Directx9 (December 2006)
SDK vertex tutorial sample. The SDK tutorial works perfectly. Why does
the same code fail in my program? I assume it's because the whole
dialog window isn't Direct3D, just one control. Is there something
special I need to do to make this work?

(I have also tried using D3DDEVTYPE_REF as suggested to people
reporting a similar problem in other forums, but that doesn't seem to
make any difference.)

There's a few other things I should mention that might affect this as
well:
The DxViewer.exe utility crashes when I open it.
The DXErr.exe won't open at all.
I have a dual-monitor configuration and a GeForce FX5200 graphics card.
dxcpl.exe seems to work fine. I've tried using the debug version of
direct3d and I still get the same error.
