starter window trouble

Hi can anyone help a noob here. When I check the starter box in publish, I get a error "ERRNO #291.313"

Anything specific I need to look out for?

Here's my process.

a .wdl containing only the following:

WINDOW WINSTART
{
TITLE "In die Begin, met Oom Karoolus en Lente";
SIZE 640,480;
MODE IMAGE;
PICTURE <start.bmp>,OPAQUE,0,0;
PROGRESS RGB(0,0,255), 10, 10, 450, 620, 20;
}

New file in wed. save. add script. publish, with only starter box checked.

error

Do you have Pro?

His profile says Standard edition so this starter function will not work. There is a Splash maker or something floating on the forum which allow you to do your own startup screen with editions lower than pro though.

I have pro. Need to update my profile.

Anyone?

WINDOW WINSTART
{
TITLE "In die Begin, met Oom Karoolus en Lente";
SIZE 640,480;
MODE IMAGE;
PICTURE <start.bmp>,OPAQUE,0,0; <-- There´s a problem!!
PROGRESS RGB(0,0,255), 10, 10, 450, 620, 20;
}

I´ve tested it, have you saved the bitmap as 8-bit bitmap?
"Images must be in PCX or BMP 8-bit palettized format" (from the manual)

I checked the file in photoshop and its set to 8 bit / Channel.

I really dont get it. Why is it not working? It says "ERRNO #291.314, no starter window definition found." Its as if it does'nt read the file at all.

edit:

If all else fails will you be able to help me? Can I send you the bmp? I will really appreciate it.

Yes, you can send the bmap to
braindamaged [ a t ] arcor [ . ] de

I´ll have a look into this in the evening.

You've got mail. Thanks!

Hi just checking. Did you get my email?

Yes, I´ll have a look into this.

Edit: I´ve resaved the bitmap with Irvan View and 256 colours (8-bit). Now it works. I´ll send you the bitmap via mail.

Thanks allot! Works perfectly!

Any idea how I can do it in Photoshop?

Its the same as in Irfan View, set Image mode to 8 bit, indexed colors.

Indexed colors...

Thanks.
