unexpected error. We got this error while trying to load the first form of
the application, and it would hose up memory. Worked fine on Win98 and NT,
and seemed to work OK on Win95 with Office97.

We tried all the ideas about comctl32.DLL, OCXs, GIFs (as described on the
microsoft web site for this error code). Still did not work.

We were finally able to isolate it down to the form graphics (jpegs). It
only happened on the test machines which had low end video cards, and we had
256 color jpeg graphics. The reason Office97 made it work was that when it
runs the Office Assistant it loads DIBENG.DLL into memory. Which as I
understand is a 'device independent bitmap' graphics engine/driver.

Our solution was to save our graphics as DIB files, which when loaded
automatically loads the DIBENG.DLL and the graphics are automatically set
according to the video capability.

Thanks agian for all the great ideas! We were really stumped and all your
ideas helped us to forge ahead and focus on some areas until we found the
culprit. THANKS!
