Hi ! I am very new to DirectDraw and tried to do smth with it. I used ddutil (which is ready in SDK) and made a DirectX App Wizard project with DInput,DMusic,DSound; Here is the Problem. ddutil functions in tutorials were using 255 color. When used them for 24 bit bitmap it worked well but with a small problem. When my app starts, I have to press ESC or SPACE (that is the problem-I don''t know why).The then the scene is seen. With a second ESC my app finishes. Why do I get "Loading.. " Message until I press a first ESC; I would be very pleased if you give me an answer. Thank in advance.

You will have to post some code so people can take a closer look at your problem.
