December 2, 200421 yr Hi,I've been using Ground2k4 5.33 for months. I keep getting a VB error while using this program : error code 480, 'Unable to create image in Autoredraw mode' (my translation of the French error message).The problem is easily reproducible, it occurs after creation of a new (blank) project, using a big .bmp image as background (usually 16000x16000 x 256 colors). When sliding up/down or left/right, the error happens, then back to desktop. The same occurs when zooming out several times. I've tried with various color depths (24 bits) or sizes...It is a very annoying bug for I have to save my work every minute or so, before attempting any move around the workspace... or else everything is lost. :/I guess it is a VB-related problem ('mode Autoredraw') and/or a video/memory management issue... My computer is stable, I use Win 2k, it has plenty of RAM... Help, any idea, anyone experienced the same ? :((I'll try to find how to join C. Fumey)Thanks in advance,HotShot
December 3, 200421 yr Hi HotShot.Ground2K4 is unstable when using bitmaps over 8000x8000.A work-around is to limit your desktop color setting to 16-bit depth. That seems to solve the problem for WindowsXP, and should work for Win2K.Dick
December 3, 200421 yr Dear Rhumbaflappy,as usual your help is unvaluable. It's weird but it works.I think I can live with 16-bit depth...Thanks ! :)
