Repaint problem

[tapiocapudding]

Whenever I try to view a texture in Paint Shop Pro (nothing else will even load it), I get this:

Can anyone tell me why/how to fix it?
Edit: This is with ALL textures, including repaint kits, except for strangely the "gold & white" texture for the default Learjet. I'm using FS2004.

Hi, im not much of a repaint expert but I think you must convert the bmps to 24bit for the program to read. This can be done by Imagetool.exe and others.

Imagetool is found here http://www.projectopensky.com/files/index.php?dir=paint-resources/&file=imagetool.exe

No problem, remember to convert it back for MSFS to read
