As far sa I remember that was a Borland problem due to the way that they
streamed the image list bitmap to the resource stream. When Microsft
versioned the ComCtrl32 DLL they changed something that caused the Delphi
streaming code to load the bitmap badly when you loaded a form on a
machine that had a different ComCtl32 version.
We worked about the problem by loading our image lists from a bitmap
resource at runtime rather than having it streamed in. This saves on
having multiple copies of the same bitmap in memory, and dodged the entire
streaming version issue.
Cheers, Max.
