Ok this is a long and painful story so bear w/me I have an image class that has a load_bmp method In my program I create to instances of this class and then I load bmps into them. I can BltFast them to the back buffer but only the first one worx I Blit them to two different places on the Back Buffer surface and then I flip it. The actual BltFast methods work without a catch but once I have loaded that first bmp that''s all I can blit regaurdless if I specify another bmp to load that (*&^ing surface stays in memory some how ( i think ). Even though I change the string and recompile it still seems to load the initial bmp. What is up with this? Do I need to make static vars in my class? becuase of the two intances? HELP PLEASE! Where is your faith now?

Your explaination is a little confusing. Are you saying you load a bitmap into your surface.( lets call the bitmap "Mybitmap.bmp" and the surface lpddsoffscreen )
So now your surface contains the bitmap "Mybitmap.bmp".
But if you recompile to load a bitmap named "Otherbmp.bmp" into this same surface it''s still showing the "Mybitmap.bmp" image?

If that isn''t what you meant, sorry.

Yes that''s exactly what I meant. I fixed it last night though. I am not sure exactly what I was doing wrong but in my load_bmp method I was useing the DeleteObject on the HDC of that I got from my IDirectDrawSurface7 mothod instead of on the Image HDC, So I wasn''t deleting the correct object. I haven''t been working alot with device contexts and I practicaly copied my load_bmp method verbatim from the ddutil.cpp thing frum DX.

Great! Glad you got it working. You learn something new everytime you sit down and type some code! Keep it up
