Hallo all, Just wondering, in the book by Andre Lamoth, a bitmap loading function is given. It seems to work fine, but when i unload the first bitmap after displaying it, whatever, I can''t load another one - there isn''t enough memory. I''ve scanned through the code and there isn''t a leak that my inexperience C++ brain can detect, but has anyone else experienced this and/or discovered a solution. Or has anyone else got a bitmap loader that''s reliable and easy to use (and free, preferably...) thanks for your help... wiseGuy
