I don't know how to make it work, but it should work, it is just a library. I suggest downloading Dev-C++ 4 and the Allegro package for it. It works great, very easy to set up.

I am not sure, but I think you need to know Win32 API to use DirectX. You do not need to know Win32 API to use Allegro. It is as easy to use as BGI, but 10x powerfull. As of now I have not found a good tutorial for it, but the docs are good enough, you just have to know what to look for. If you understand structures, functions, pointers, and arrays you are pretty much ready for windows programming. http://www.winprog.com/tutorial

Vicious, I'm going to be buying a book called Programming Windows 5th Edition, from Petzoid, here soon. It is considered to be a very good book. If you're interested in ever doing windows programming you should consider buying this book. I find it a lot easier and rewarding to read a (programming) book rather than reading a (programming) tutorial. The detail level and explanation in a book is far greater. I think the book runs for around $50, so it's not too expensive.
Eventually I want to start learning DirectX/OpenGL/SDL/or Allegro (aka this fall/winter)(I haven't decided on which API yet, btw).
