Re: COleDateTime::GetCurrentTime() problem

You are right, it has to do with altering floating point processor settings.
Using the flag D3DCREATE_FPU_PRESERVE when creating the Direct3D device
solves the problem.

Searching the newsgroups it appears that others have also suffered
from this problem :(

If you've not done so, I think it'd be worthwhile submitting a bug
report on it (and the solution) to ensure MS are aware of the problem
- and so they can come up with some solution in the future, even if
that's only documenting the fact that something as innocuous as
COleDateTime::GetCurrentTime() can fail because of the floating point
settings.

In the absence of an obvious bug report by the OP on the connect site,
I've created this one:

Anyone who's interested can vote/validate it.
