Till,

Thanks.

Not really. My workaround is to force the JPG format on Windows XP:

#if XPPVER > 2000500
   if val(OS(OS_VERSION)) < 6 .and. nSaveType == XBPBMP_FORMAT_PNG
      cExtension := 'JPG'
      nSaveType  := XBPBMP_FORMAT_JPG
   endif
#endif

As JPG files (of screen shots) are considerably larger than PNG files, I 
wouldn't mind a different workaround that allows me to convert the bitmap 
some other way to 24 bits, before saving it. But I can live with the above 
workaround for now.

Thanks,

Andreas
