If it doesn't work, you probably aren't using an 8-bit surface. I believe setting the surface's .ddpfPixelFormat.lFlags = DDPF_PALETTEINDEXED8 will solve your problem. I've done this too but never gotten it to work, so good luck...

If that doesn't work, try setting it to DDPF_PALETTEINDEXED8 Or DDPF_PALETTEINDEXEDTO8

You double posted :D

It works perfectly, thanks!
