Problem with the compiler

[Silver]

Hello,

I'm implementing a simple particle system on Direct3D9 using point sprites, however I'm having a problem building the project on VS.Net 2003.

When building under Debug, everything looks fine, just as programmed:



However, when building under Release, the sprites of the particle look as if they are not lit!



I didn't touch the project properties except for adding the libraries. What'd be the problem?

Note that in Release, several particles do have their original red color. Weird, huh.

perhaps the way you give the color is somewhat incorrect, so debug version makes the correction but release - obviously doesn't, I am not a D3D guru, and most probably you'll not find a solution here, why not contact with M$ or GameDev, also try to play with colors and see the behaviour.

The problem is, I don't give it any color. Just a TGA texture with an alpha channel, and enable alpha blending and alpha testing.
It looks more like the vertices are not lit.

Update: When running the application under Release, but in Debugging mode (that is, through F5, not Ctrl+F5), it looks normal again.

Well here is my particle fire, built under Debug:

And built under release:

Ideas?
