Access violation is generally doing stuff to memory you don't own.
Typically writes, but reads can evoke this as well.

It could be that you haven't initialised something (another library
call needed? you're not passing the right parameters in the calls you
are using?) and use of a subsequent pointer is resulting in a write to
0x0 or to whatever random address the variable got initialised to.

Sorry I can't help with the code itself - this pub PC doesn't have a
compiler on it, nor havee I used DirectX.

'It compiles,' while a good starting point, doesn't necessarily mean
you won't hit run-time errors ;)
