If you had commented out the following lines in teh fx file,

if (xEnableLighting)
        Output.LightingFactor = saturate(dot(Normal, -xLightDirection));

Uncomment them and it will work. It seems there is a problem that effects older video cards, in earlier chapters. I don't know enough about the hardware to offer any better solutions, but when we were not using lighting earlier, for some reason that line in the effects file would prevent the image from appearing. now when we are, it works fine.

My problem was opposite, i had to comment that if statement to get lightning work

----Cut----
//if (xEnableLighting)
Output.LightingFactor = saturate(dot(Normal, -xLightDirection));
---Paste---

//Hannu
