Thank you for your reply,please ignore the rest of this post.

I all ready tried that,but that doesnt work...(for the screen
saver example that i downloaded,i CAN compile some other things)
The best part is that after compiling another example that i found
on a "allegro+msvc howto" site and the allegro dll page
faulted...I run it through the debugger and find the problem
is in install_allegro()....so i download the precompiled
demo to see if that is cause my .lib and .dll's are not
the same and i find that it crashes with the same message.
There is some problem with the dlls somewhere in install_allegro()
that wont work on my box....I even tried putting in SYSTEM_NONE
just to see if it was a problem with my hardware,but it still
crashed...

I am getting fustrated to death...

I really want to keep using allegro,as i have come to like it,but
somehow the stars are against me.......
 
I cant take it anymore.......I have stayed up over 2 days trying 
everything under the sun to get this to work.I quit...I dont know
what pitfalls there are in DX but I am going to start down that
path now and see where it leads......Oh ya,and while i am venting
i might as well say that...never mind......I might regret it....

For anyone who read this far,
be cool.........
