Code: srcRect.top = 0; srcRect.left = 0; srcRect.right = 50; srcRect.bottom = 50; destRect.top = 0; destRect.left = 0; destRect.right = 640; destRect.bottom = 480; ddrval = lpDDSBack->Blt(NULL, lpDDSOffTwo,NULL, DDBLT_WAIT | DDBLT_KEYDEST, NULL); if(ddrval != DD_OK) { MessageBox(hwnd, "nope", "", MB_OK); } ddrval = lpDDSBack->BltFast( xpos, ypos, lpDDSOffOne, &srcRect, DDBLTFAST_DESTCOLORKEY | DDBLTFAST_WAIT ); if(ddrval != DD_OK) { MessageBox(hwnd, "15", "", MB_OK); } Edited by - JSCFaith on 7/14/00 11:38:26 PM

i had the exact smae problem before!

ok, the problem is this: you''re telling it to use the destination color key for it, but the destination surface hasn''t defined a color key yet.
that really annoyed me and took me a life time to figure it out.
so just setup a color key in all of your surfaces and you''re done. nothing''s wrong with that code
