hey, im working on a copy of the msn game bejeweled, i havent got very far at the moment but when the user clicks on the screen it selects the jewel they have clicked, but it takes ages to draw the screen each time... ive played around with the options a bit, like taking autoredraw off, but it ends up ruining the program... pls take a look and help me speed it up!

There really isn't anything big I can see that would make it faster. I would suggest using an offscreen backbuffer so the DC you are BitBlt'ing too doesn't have to have that little wait updating. If you Blit everything to an offscreen backbuffer, then to the Forms DC, it might have a slightly better effect, and not show the rollover.
dont worry, it's fixed now anyway, vb crashed and when i reopened the project it was pretty much instant, maybe i changed something but i cant really rememeber what! its lookin pretty good so far tho, should have it finished soon and ill post in the codebank
