If you are using GetDCEx as described in msdn's WM_NCCREATE page then that may be the problem. Apparently, there is an undocumented flag for GetDCEx which is discussed on this page ("Undocumented flags for GetDCEx").

Well I've tried but it just overwrites what I've done on the DC! If I move it off screen and on quickly it goes all garbled!
How can I stop it reseting my changes?
Bingo!
How I did it --
Windows paints over it right? So let it! As soon as it hits WM_NCPAINT send it through DefWindowProc..
ie -- DefWindowProc( hwnd, msg, wParam, lParam );
After that you are free to just do whatever you want.
[edit:] Oh, and use GetWindowDC().
