I don't know how you use it. Is it BGI? If so, just don't. :-)

Right, a 5. In other words: forget graphics.h!

C++ doesn't include graphics, you have to use a library (which is usually more than just a single header).

There's a few different options:
GDI, GDI+, DirectDraw, OpenGL, Cairo, DirectX, etc...

It depends on the complexity of what you want to achieve... things like GDI/GDI+ are too primitive to get you anywhere fast if you're trying to make something like a game, but if you're just trying to graph, they work just fine.
