Well, unfortunately there is no function which translates error
codes into readable text. And there are hundreds of them. 887600e1
is a DirectDraw error, meaning "Operation requires the application to
have exclusive mode but the application does not have exclusive
mode."
The strange thing on this is, that I do not need exclusive mode for
this call. It's against the specifications. I even think it would be
wrong to acquire exclusive mode. I'll think of a solution.

W2K you said. I'll test it on one of these. Can only be the illegal
address handler. But I can't think of a reason why it should act like
that.

Unfortunately this is more often the case than one might think.

I'll tell you as soon as I had a look at this stuff. May take some
days, though.
