Every copy of Exotica works without flaw(Nothing serious, or hindering
anyways).. I know, I have them all..
Maybe you should post your problems to the list so people can help you
instead of just complaining and hoping that people will conform to your
desires..

Not very specific, could happen for numerous reasons...
Did you read the docs? Did you look at the examples?

DInput has always worked for me. Never had ANY problems with it..
Probably run out of RAM because you have everything loaded to Hardware
memory. Try putting it all in Software memory.. Then load only the
essentials to Hardware..
What's your puter Specs?

If you have less than 16MB of VideoRAM, you probably should use software
memory mode..
To use software mode, call CFG_VIDEO_MODE. There's also a Memory param
in the CREATE3D_DEVICE routine. As well, bitmaps and 3D Textures have
params for memory mode..
