Now, to your problem:

This is an error message from Irrlicht's compiled DLL.

Just to get the problem straight in my mind, you are trying to compile
the examples which came with Irrlicht 0.5 in DevCpp? I would suggest
downloading and installing the newer version 0.6 from the Irrlicht
site. Did you download the DevPak for Irrlicht? Did you install the
DevPak?

I believe that the code is being compiled for DirectX use, but the
Irrlicht DLL which accompanied the program was not compiled with
DirectX. As a user you have to recompile the SDK in order to use
DirectX with Irrlicht.

As a workaround look for a line in the source files which looks like:

IrrlichtDevice *device =3D createDevice(video::EDT_DIRECTX8, core::dimens=
ion2d<s32>(640, 480));

and change it to

IrrlichtDevice *device =3D createDevice(video::EDT_OPENGL, core::dimensio=
n2d<s32>(640, 480));

Recompile and it should run correctly.

No, it has everything to do with the Irrlicht DLL which comes with the
download.

I would suggest downloading the new Irrlicht (it is now at version
0.6)
