Yes-> ddraw is included in the cpp file. Infact I can use the code above as global variables and it workss fine-its just when I put it in a structure? Any other clues?

Don''t you have to include the ddraw.h in the header file chipcrap.h, and then include chipcrap.h in chipcrap.cpp? Mabey that''s what you''re doing but I didnt'' understand.
