Ciao,

well, this is a windows forum question

I imagine your filename that you are loading should probably show full path and not just the filename. try that first.

Oh did not know it was a windows forum.

I do not have to show the full file path.

I found the problem. the bmp's have to be in same folder, as the exe. So now it works.

Thanks,
Ciao,
