    Operating System?

    Windowed or Console for that system?

    Compiler?

    If you want to do something game-like, VC++ is not good for this.
    If you have a text menu where the user can select something, I don't know.

    Because they're trying to use the 16-bit gfx libraries with a 32-bit compiler, and obviously it won't work

    If you want to do graphics under Windows, you need to learn one of three things:

    GDI - slower, but works on everything and is the basis for most of the non-games type display.
    OpenGL - very slow without hardware acceleration, but dead easy to program for.
    DirectX - A total bastard to write, especially in C++. However sometimes it is faster than OGL in software mode.

    That said, OpenGL blows DX out of the water with acceleration, and it also runs on SGI workstations
