Hi everyone,

I am using TC 3.0 . I'm getting an error as.. BGI error:graphics not initialized. But I've used initgraph. So, i thought i'll use this

/* read result of initialization */
   errorcode = graphresult();
   /* an error occurred */
   if (errorcode != grOk)
   {
      printf("Graphics error: %s\n", grapherrormsg(errorcode));
      printf("Press any key to halt:");
      getch();

      exit(1);    /* terminate with an error code */
   }

I'm getting an error.. Graphics error: Device driver file not found <EGAVGA.BGI> Press any key to halt.

What does this mean? Please can anyone help me? Am i missing an obvious point?? Plzzz help !

what operating system?

Hi,

Oops sorry! I had not put double slash in the "path" in initgraph. :o Its working now. Anyway,thanks a lot.

And the OS is xp.. but i don't get it.. how does it matter??
