I forget which version of DirectX supports which method, but once DirectX 7 came out, the method by which a DC's was obtained became a bit different...one way was like this: hDC = SomeSurface.GetDC() And the other was like this Call SomeSurface.GetDC(hDC) Since you're having trouble with the first method, perhaps you should try the second method.
