Would it be a good idea to use windows gui things such as popup menus, windows and dialog boxes to change settings while in a full screen DX8 game? I don''t want to make my own gui from scratch, so i would simply like to know if using the windows gui stuff would somehow conflict with Exclusive mode DirectDraw.

There''s a sample in the DX8SDK under DirectDraw called FullScreenDialog that does exactly what you describe.
