I recently jumped over to SDL from Allegro and "SDL_LOADBMP" doesn't actually load my bmp...
I've tried several different solutions, but none have solved my problem.
Only a black screen is displayed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

#include <iostream>

#include "SDL/SDL.h"

using namespace std;







int main( int argc, char* args[] ) {



    const int SCREEN_WIDTH  = 640;

    const int SCREEN_HEIGHT = 480;

    const int SCREEN_DEPTH  =  32;



    SDL_Surface *screen = NULL;

    SDL_Surface *bitmap = NULL;

    SDL_Rect offset;



    SDL_Init( SDL_INIT_EVERYTHING );



    //Build Screen

    screen = SDL_SetVideoMode(SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGHT, SCREEN_DEPTH, SDL_SWSURFACE);

    offset.x = 0;

    offset.y = 0;

    offset.h = SCREEN_HEIGHT;

    offset.w = SCREEN_WIDTH;

    //Load Image

    bitmap = SDL_LoadBMP( "c:\hello.bmp" );



    //Add image

    SDL_BlitSurface (bitmap, NULL, screen, &offset);

    SDL_Flip(screen);



   while(true);

}
