Subject: Popping image on top of the screen

I've found a way to do this with 'ffi' gem using windows gdi32.dll
lybrary, to be specyfic using the C++ functions 'GetDC', 'BitBlt' and
another function that i don't realize yet... (I don't know nothing about
C++ programming, I've started to program with Ruby, first language). I
had an error trying this way, the backtrace say something like "GetDC
function doesn't found in [gdi] library". Walking away trhough my
PC I realized that gdi32 library was found by ffi, but not by the
search feature of my OS, I just found 'libgdi32.a' file. Now I'm stuck
and lost in this way....any help will be aprecciated to solve the
problem with windows functions.
 By other side I was taking a look at 'rubysdl' gem. I need to know if
in any way can solve the problem with the SDL library...if someone can
give me an advice about if I CAN DISPLAY MY IMAGE(can be .png, .bmp,
doesn't matter) LOGO APP IN TOP OF THE SCREEN(Windows XP SP3) until my
app GUI is loaded(I can take the wheel from there) then I can know which
way must be taked. I don't want to spend days learning SDL library if
after all I can't solve the real problem. I'll appreciate your help,
thanks for your time.
