Are you trying to use the headers supplied by Microsoft (in their
DDK)?  Don't.  They are designed for MS compilers.   Use the Borland
headers supplied with the compiler, and  which work with the compiler
with which they are distributed.

Just do this
#include	<windows.h>
and all should be fine.
Only add more includes when needed by your own code.
For now, only add includes when the compiler complains that it doesn't
know what your own code is doing.
<windows.h> pulls in 95% of the available windows code, so for a
while, it should be plenty.
