help use graphics?

i am using codeblocks (mingw) 8.02 ... i cant use any graphics functions ... plz help ! :( i dl'ed source of graphics.h which then asked for jview.h which again asked for yet another header file...
I am using Windows Vista.

graphics.h doesn't work on windows vista. look up the graphics stuff in the win32 library, sdl, allegro, gtk+, and other third party libraries.

maybe i didn't get you! :(

Here is a third party graphics library called SDL, that you can use to create graphics, but according to it's FAQ(which could be outdated), Vista is not supported.

And here are instructions on how to set up SDL to work with different operating systems and compilers:

so... i think i would better use my old XP again... i want to program a lot but this vista is always creating problems either way....
anyway thanks happyclown, i will give a shot

graphics.h is a DOS graphics library. even if you're able to use it in windows xp it's going to be severely restricted in what you can do.
