When you say it doesn't work, do you mean it's crashing or you get strange results?

Comments:

1) As everyone else has stated, use u_shorts instead of u_longs.
2) The following two lines are equivalent, but the second is easier to read (in my humble opinion):

	memcpy( scr+(counter*320), line+(rand()%320), 640 );
	memcpy( scr[counter], &line[rand()%320], 640 );

3) LoadImage should be:

     LoadImage( &screen, scr );
not:
     LoadImage( &screen, *scr );


Cheers,

James
