I am work my way TWGPG and I made a quick program that would draw pixels from a randomly generated pallete to random points on the screen. However I can''t get DirectDraw to create an object. The program compiles without errors. It doesn''t return any error message that I have a handler for(about 10). A little help in ways to debug this would be appreciated. Thanks. InFerN0

If your error checks are not failing, then how do you know a DirectDraw object is not being created? Be a bit more specific, and maybe post your creation code as well. With more info, we can get somewhere.

If you are still stuck trying to find what the error is, get the error number (by either putting a breakpoint there and checking the debugger or printing it in a MessageBox or something). The lowest 3 digits are the error code - look a the very end of the ddraw.h file for a list of all errors.
