OK, so you people who have developing these type of application for as long as you have probably will think this is a very stupid question. But I am new to programming desktop apps (been doing web programming). But I am getting into c# and have a few questions for you guys. I have only really gotten into transferring data back and forth from databases and such so as you can be sure I am very begginer.
I am just wondering why there are such issues with things like certain types of video cards. I mean I would think that if you wrote the app to for directx and the card supported directx it should work. I mean isnt this why the card manufactures have to develope drivers so people can just write applications and have it work.
ATI for example (seems the AIW has the most problems), do they just have bad drivers. I guess I am missing somthing but I just always thought that unless you were putting somthing in the into the app that the card specifically didn't have support for it should work.
I guess my question is really, were is the brakdown? Why doesn't any card that has wdm drivers or whatever just work?
