Hi !
I have a problem with TurboC, which I hope that someone can help me solve.
The background is as follows ; I am developing a program in TurboC, 
I started with version 1.0 without graphics and planned to incorporate
graphics when 1.5 became available.

But when I now place initgraph in the beginning of main() , the PC locks up.
The program is of medium size (the EXE-file is about 85K ) and is using
a 12K stack, I use the large memory modell .
I have recompiled the complete program with vers. 1.5 so there are no
1.0 code left.

I don't think that there are any hardware problem since I am able to
do a small program using graphics and it works without problem. I also
have no problem with compiling and running bgidemo .

The program is all C , no other language .
If I use getgraph() first , then getgraph works like it should .
The problem starts (an ends :-( ) with initgraph().

So,please help !!
