just some direction will do.. cuz i am stumped...

thank you

i am on the path of bitmaps right now... and some one mentioned fopen or something im going to google that as well

So do you want to load .bmp or .jpeg? Wiki has a good description of reading in .bmp and .jpeg. All you need to do is follow the psuedo code.
