I have a guess about why this is happening. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that you're using some flavor of Windows. There once was/maybe still is a limit to the individual and collective size of bitmaps allocated by the Windows GDI. The size limit for individual bitmaps was fixed and bore no relation to the amount of memory avilable (which was infuriating), and the collective limit seemed to be a lot lower than you'd expect. It's possible that people who are experiencing this problem are bumping into these limitations which those benighted souls at Microsoft built into Windows. So: How much RAM do you have? How much video RAM do you have? What OS are you using? (Yes, video RAM might also be relevant here...) -- J.
