Using DirectDraw on device emulator (Platform Builder 6.0 R3)

[mass74]

Hi all, I'm new to this group and new to winCE development.

I'm planning to develop a simple direct draw application for my device. For developing and early tests I'm using the device emulator

coming with platform builder. My problem is that ddraw sample applications (ddex1, ddex2, ...) don't run on device emulator.

In fact, as I try to run a sample, the execution stops immediately because DirectDrawCreate fails with a return value of E_FAIL

(DDERR_GENERIC).

My platform: Visual Studio 2005 with Platform Builder 6.0 R3;
In catalog I've selected DirectDraw, Minimal GDI Configuration, and Minimal GWES Configuration.

The debug log is:
...

Any hints to get it work ?

Thank you in advance.
