None of the demos run. exception has been thrown!
Failed to create direct3d9 object
in OgreD3d9rendersystem.cpp

I have direct 3d 9.0b, hope I don't need c, because it's
35MB.

I ran all the earlier demos, even made a Walker terrain fly through with it,

Like to try out the paging demo, but there doesn't seem to be any
non-programmer stuff here, except the IGF award-winning game, which I don't want to buy.

Did you compile the demos yourself? Have you tried the OpenGL renderer? FYI, the newest compiled demos you can download from Ogre's site require DirectX 9.0c for the DX9 renderer.

You're right, I needed dx 9 c, might put that in the
download notes. Nice terrain, you can even walk
through, not fly.

I'm pretty sure it says in the news post about that version that you need DirectX9c. Plus there have already been posts like this one, so searching would have found you your answer as well.

No and no.
