    Windows -> Look at OpenGL or DirectX
    DOS -> See your other post (I mentioned VESA)

    I would recomend DirectX because that is M$, and M$ is gonna monopolize the game industry soon... well probably
    so I would learn DirectX(I am learning Direct X)

    For PCs, it's a good idea to use DX. However, if you ever want to do it on a platform other than Windoze, then use OpenGL. OGL is actually faster, BTW.

    M$ has good sample projects, and I think planetsourcecode has some too. I did a tutorial on getting started with OpenGL here: http://www.parksie.uklinux.net/simplegl/SimpleGL.html
