PO.FX files mostly don't load and those that do dont work properly

copied!<p>Basically I made a .x file model class with animations and all and each model class has a pointer for an effect file class,so i make a bunch of different models and i make them all use a single effect like a glow for example, so around <code>DrawSubset()</code> in the render function of each model are <code>Begin()</code> and <code>End()</code> for the effect.The problem is 90% of my .fx files(I tried making in FX composer and Rendermonkey,I tried loading samples,even simple ones)they don't load and it says the effect is null and if something manages to load,it makes all the geometry grey or slices parts of it off.This is basically my code(oh and the d3d device pointer is properly set,don't worry,the problem is not there):</p> <pre><code>***FXfileEntity.h*** #pragma once #include <d3d9.h> #include <d3dx9.h> class CFXFileEntity{ private: LPDIRECT3DDEVICE9 m_d3dDevice;
