class chunder_class
{

public:

    struct pixel_struct
    {
        int x_speed, y_speed;
        int colour;
    };

    struct pixel_struct pixel[AREA_WIDTH][AREA_HEIGHT];

[rest of class and program...]


AREA_WIDTH = 640, AREA_HEIGHT = 480. I also get this error with 256x200, 
the lowest mode Allegro can do.

I read a bit in the FAQ which said that CWSDPMI couldn't handle it if 
there were a lot of small memory allocations needed. I don't know if this 
is what is causing the problem here. Memory allocation is not my 
speciality.
