I'd forget the DX9 stuff,
yeah but... too late
ssImage2DX9.exe
again, starts with opengl. then d selects dx7 and hitting it again selects dx9, remember to hit s for the single texture.
also, there must be a bug in Max's opengl setup cause I can't get rid of it waiting for the vblank when you reset back to opengl.
BTW: the dx9 test won't show anything on my crappy 6 year old laptop even though 9.2 is installed.
