huh. can you post a bitmap that does work, and one that doesn't?
FIXED IT UGH i had to resave it in an old old version of photoshop on my windows 2000 vm 
I think modern BMPs are too new for older OSes. BMP was apparently never designed for portability and has changed with each version of Windows. NTX & 9X; There's also separate variations of BMP apparently when I looked it up, as well as there being different file headers for BMP and various optional compression methods with varying support, which compounds matters.
Modern photo suites probably use too new features for NT4/95 support. Though I wonder if MSPaint would suffice...
