It loads the tiger mesh just fine. But when I put my mesh in the Mesh.FromFile() method I get the "Could not initialize Direct3D. This tutorial will exit." error it generates. I made my mesh using Hash's animation master (hash.com) and an amatuer directx exporter (obsidiangames.com) whose exports read just fine with the skinned mesh application. I cannot figure out what is wrong. I'm beginning to think that my only option is to learn the .x format back to front so I can understand the differences between the two. I'm hoping it's just some little thing I can change in the model or the tutorial 6 code.
This is how the model reads when opened in notepad:
