Paul i've missed this Q till now, but make sure you have the graphics lib
option checked in -> or thereabouts anyway.
The BGI works fine, but remember you need to have borland on the PC to
run it, if you release the program, you'll have to register the BGI and
the font libs in your exe. 
It's all in the manual or online help.look at regiterbgi().

If not that..
Where do you have the problem, at initgraph() or in the actual code ? 

You may have to specify the path to your BGI directory, since normaly only 
the BIN directory will be in your path. You'd do that in your graphinit()
function. From memory.. 
status = initgraph(mode,"d:\borland\bgi"); (hmm, i think i'm missing 
a variable or two there)
    
Anyway run the online help on initgraph() and fill in the "" with the path.
Also remember you have to be in large model for graphics.
