Hi John,

It sounds like the user's graphics adapter is running at a lower color depth than that of the bitmap. You can check the color depth programmatically by using an API call, and substitute the appropriate depth bitmap. Check the FAQ's here for info on the API calls.

>I added a bmp file to the _screen.picture and it looks great when the application is run. But when the user runs another program, the bmp image in the background changes strangely (ex., weird colors, blank holes, etc...).
