what compiler are you trying to use? The code posted is very old and probably not compile with a modern compiler.
yup..mybe your compiler do not suport something like textcolor or backgrnd

can you show me the error message,and what compiler do you use??
Looks like old Borland code. DevCpp has a BGI (Borland Graphics Interface) DevPack that might be useful here.
