IDirectDraw7::GetDeviceIdentifier takes forever!

[teleplayr]

Hello all. I was noticing my app loading very, very slowly, and decided to profile it. It turns out the function that I use to log display device capabilities was taking 15.xx seconds to complete.

When I commented out the GetDeviceIdentifier line, the function time went under 1 second.

Any ideas what could cause GetDeviceIdentifier to take 14 seconds to return?

Here's the code:


HRESULT hr;
DDDEVICEIDENTIFIER2 di;
ZeroMemory(&di, sizeof (DDDEVICEIDENTIFIER2);

// The following line takes up to 14 seconds to return.
hr = lpdd->GetDeviceIdentifier(&di, 0);

if (FAILED(hr))
{
// error handling
}


Thanks,

-Joe
