outtextxy(mx/2,my/2,"FAHAD");

Answer 1

From your question I have no clue what library you are using, but common sense tells me this could help:

setcolor(RED | BLINK);  // Use bitwise or instead of + to combine values

Answer 2

That code is targeted at 16-bit MS-DOS, the Win32 DOS-box virtualisation does not support the blinking attribute. I believe that it was supported in 'full-screen' mode, but versions of Windows since XP and 2000 do not support full-screen console or DOS-box presentation.
