Unable to load a picture?

If all else fails, you could just copy another component picture and rename it as the faulty one. That should stop any errors, and though it's not an ideal solution by any means, it'd at least allow you to play without errors.

This is the old .bmp header problem, try and use another image program to save it like ifranview or photoshop and not MS paint.

Using ifranview worked.

I think the key was doing a Save As, rather than just a save.

I *hate* that problem... Too much for my wee brain.
