"screen" makes my programs crash

I use the Dev-C++ compiler, but recently I moved all the files onto another partition, and ever since, my programs crash when they encounter the "screen" bitmap. I have tested this a number of times. Even programs that were working fine, if I altered them slightly, they would crash when I ran them.

An example:

#include <allegro.h>

int main ()
{
 allegro_init ();
 set_gfx_mode (GFX_AUTODETECT_WINDOWED, 250, 100, 0, 0);
 
 textprintf_ex(screen, font, 0, 0, makecol(0, 0, 0), 0, "Hello World!");
 
 allegro_exit ();
 return 0;
}END_OF_MAIN ()

This compiles perfectly, but crashes when I run it.
P.S. It is definately something wrong with the "screen" bitmap because I have tested it against several of my programs.

Did you forget that you posted about this like four hours ago?

Please do not double post

Yeah, but no-one seemed to be helping me so I figured I'd give it one last try, since I only ask questions once every so often.

Uhm, this is a forum, not IRC. You may have to wait at least 12 hours to get an answer. Now you have pretty much erased that chance though.

You got good advice in that thread which you ignored. Read it again.

Geez, I am sorry, I don't do forums that often. I usually try to figure stuff out myself, but this has just been bugging me for days now.

Edit: I didn't ignore it, I corrected my code in the third post. If it was as easy as that I would have figured it out ages ago.

Nope, you didn't. Check the return values. They are there for a reason.
