I checked the version of Directx installed on my PC via dxdiag utility it shows that i have Directx 9c installed.

Answer 1

My "guess" is that you aren't running Vista. Direct3DEx can only be created on a Vista machine.

Edit:

Change your code to

Direct3D m_d3d = new Direct3D();

And that "should" fix you.
