Your program is for (MS-) DOS (a real DOS, not the command shell of Windows).

Correct, this is right !
I also have used this kind of graphics in plain-DOS.

What do YOU think that error message means ? It means what you're trying to do, is not supported. That's not C++ at all, it's some weird library that is not standard, and not supported in 32bit windows programs.

Why would you learn to use Borland C++ in 2013 ? It sounds like a waste of time to me.

i have 64bit windows 7,i want run graphics program in borland,give me properly answer,graphics program run in borland or not

The error means what it says. If you want to build skills that are of no use in the real world, you can explore using Borland, but unless you can get it to use the Windows SDK and the libraries that windows uses (and I have no idea if you can), you won't be able to create graphics programs, not with graphics.h.

error is "BGI graphics not supported under windows"

Right. Your error is that you're using windows.

If you must use an obsolete compiler and libraries, then use the proper obsolete environment.

The BGI graphics library is for (MS-) DOS only.

Seriously, I understand that English probably is not your first language, but, that's pretty clear, don't you think ?

As far as I know 16 bit program would run Under a 32 bit version of Windows but 64 bit OS does not support running 16 bits application anymore.

One solution that might work would be to run the program inside a 32 virtual machine.
