A wild stab in the dark suggests that you need to double up the second \ in your pathname, so

C:\\TC\\BGI

But since you've only paraphrased the problem, who knows whether that typo exists in your actual code, or whether there is some other problem you haven't bothered to mention. Post actual code if you want a fast accurate response.

of course the BGI is 20+ year old technology first developed for DOS 3 and never meant for use under Windows so it's quite possible even if you called the method that it failed and you didn't properly handle that failure.
As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.

Go to c:\tc and make sure there is a folder named "BGI" and that the drivers are in it.

Well , Using the same ancient Turbo C++ 3.0 in school, i ran into the same problem. The two lines of graphics above should be :
Assuming that you installed Turbo C to C:\TC

C Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. int gd=DETECT,gm;
  2. initgraph(&gd,&gm,"C:\\TC\\BGI");
Obviously include the graphics.h.
If it still doesnt work , Press CTRL-F , then D.
(Dos Shell from the Compiler File Menu).
Write :

C Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. C:\TC\BGI
  2. exit
It should work now. If it still doesnt work , im pretty sure that its a corrupted installation or you are missing the *.BGI Files.
Also , I think you'd have done this , but dont forget to enable the Graphics Libraries in Options > Linker > Libraries.

You are required to check whether the compiler is installed in c drive or not
if it is installed in other drive u must specify the program as
for eg. it is installed in d drive
C Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. d:\\tc\\bgi
and also change the path in the compilers directory
