Some reasons to why DirectDraw isn't working.

1) Your graphic card (or integrated graphic card) is too old.
2) You need to upgrade your Directx.
3) You need to repair your Directx. (Which sometimes, a upgrade will do the job, but I've been in situations where I had to reinstall windows to fix it. But that was during the Directx 6 era)
