Well the .bmp's were made from within LogoEditor. I guess I did try to magically change them. I saved the originals as .bmp's thru {save as}, works with NG movie and picture files I guess I figured it would here.

Heh, yeah, that's the issue. Save As only works with BIN files. If you want to save a BMP then you say export to BMP instead of Save As and it should all work.

I guess I'll implement a check to make sure the user didn't change the file extension.

Let me ask you this, when trying to open the LogoEditor created .bmp's in PSP3 it does show that they aren't a valid BMP/DIB/RLE file.

If you said "Save As" when you made the file, then it's telling you the truth: Save As makes BIN files, not BMP files. If you used the Export to BMP feature, then it's probably just that PSP3 is an old program and you need a more recent version. My PSP version 5 doesn't complain about the files.
