Jenifer, What you may have a couple of items going on here:
1) The BMP size may be greater than 192 KB. 2) The filename used to name those custom symbols could be longer than 8 characters. 3) The color depth of the BMPs might be greater than 256 colors. Any one of these could affect whether or not a custom symbol appears within MapInfo. There are some other strange quirks that could cause this problem but they're only a problem with users who have had a version 6.0 or earlier installed on the machine and then upgraded to 6.5. (Basically it deals with the fact that a registry setting places the new custom symbols directory in the Profiles section for a given user, not the MAPINFO_INSTALL_DIR/custsymb that we're all familiar with).
