Ok, so it seems that your program simply has no support for textures with alpha layers. I just ran a comparason between two textures, the same texture, but one created with an alpha layer, and one without. The one with the alpha layer crashed the program, and I subsequently had to reinstall. However, the texture without the alpha layer is currently running fine. So, I am not sure what exactly would cause this, but it is a fairly big glitch, as I often use alpha layers for my textures. Just thought I would let you know my findings...

Both textures are bitmaps @ 512x512. If you would be interested in getting those textures for your own testing, PM me and I would be happy to email them to you.
