I'm working on a Direct3D application that uses the D3DSprite class. I don't think my error is related Direct3D. Whenever I try to allocate memory for a new class, operator new and malloc return NULL pointers. The MSDN says that this means there isn't enough memory on my system, but I know that's not true, because I can run other programs from my compiler and don't have these problems. I had this error once before, but a restart fixed it, but no such luck this time. What's going on?

If there is insufficient memory for the allocation request, by default operator new returns NULL. You can change this default behavior by writing a custom exception-handling routine and calling the _set_new_handler run-time library function with your function name as its argument.
