no chance of this,I even tried different labels for
the buffer instead of "buffer"

and i have also tried the code like so:
 
BITMAP *buffer;
buffer=create_bitmap(1024,768);

If i understand you correctly
then you are saying do this:

BITMAP *buffer;
int main(void)
{
 buffer=create_bitmap(1024,768);
}

instead of doing this:

int main(void)
{
BITMAP *buffer=create_bitmap(1024,768); 
}

OK,I tried it and it worked great.I dont understand why
but I will think about it a while and see if i can.Thanks,
my program looks nice in double buffering.


Thanks,and Be Cool,
 Krogg
