If everything else is working, I'd open the .png with a photo editor other than the one you used to create it and do a SaveAs PNG again, and try the import a second time with the new file.
Most times when I've had a problem importing graphics, it's turned out to be a problem with the source graphic file... And if your system's been up a while, it wouldn't hurt to clear and reclaim memory by rebooting.... Cheers, Art Art Campbell art.campb...@gmail.com "...
