why isnt initgraph getting recognized in my program?

Question

I have programmed a code for displaying a GUI menu in Turbo C++ but I don't know why it wont recognize initgraph

This is the output message BGI Error:Graphics not initialized when i tried a simpler program on graphics in Turbo C++ it said egavga.bgi not found but it was there in the bgi file in my turbo c++ folder Also when i tried to put the location of the bgi in initgraph it doesnt do anything

this is the program code

#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include <dos.h>
#include<graphics.h>

//Menu Global Item
#define pixTOrc(x) (8*(x-1))  //convert pixel into row and col format
#define INC 5  //Increment Distance Between Menu Items
#define ROW 15 //Row Value for Menu Item
#define COL 8 //Column Value for Menu Item
#define MAXMENU 5 //Total menu items

// To display the Inventory Main menu options
typedef char option[20];
option MMenu[]= {
             "View Account",
                "Transactions",
                "New Accont",
                "Edit Account",
                "Quit"
              };
// Function to displays all the menu prompt messages from the pointer array of option a[]
void normalvideo(int x,int y,char *str)
{
   x=pixTOrc(x);
   y=pixTOrc(y);
   outtextxy(x,y,str);
}
// Function to move the cursor on the menu prompt with a reverse video color

{
   x=pixTOrc(x);
   y=pixTOrc(y);
