Have you tried to convert your bmp to a jpg? Normally I have no problems with bmps, but who knows. I don't understand why it should crash. Do you have this problem with all bmp files or only 1? If it is only 1, I can try it for you if you want. Just send it to me (I will delete it after and not use it for my own) gebe@renderosity.com. Vue 4.2?
