Did you actually use the same files as the examples does???? Right filename????
Also keep in mind that the executable starts up in a separated directory....if you start up the executable from that directory, the image should be in that directory, otherwise it should exist one directory down.

code:LPDIRECTDRAW7 lpDirDraw;LPDIRECTDRAWSURFACE7 lpStartScreen;char szBitmap[] = "intro";lpStartScreen = DDLoadBitmap(lpDirDraw, szBitmap, 0, 0);
The two pointers are members of a wrapper class, the bitmap string and DDLoadBitmap function call are in a class function that is called from the WinMain. I've copied the bitmap into the debug directory (it already existed in the code directory), run the code from within the IDE and directly from the exe file.
Thanks

I could be wrong. I'm just guessing here.
The weird thing is that it used to work in windowed mode but not in fullscreen mode. I haven't changed anything but now it refuses to work in either mode!
Any help would be apprectiated.
