The bitmap params was:
    144 x 15 x 16 colors
I checked it also with bigger image:
  1024 x 768 x 24bits (colors = 16.7 mln)
With both of them program works without errors.

A small hiny: LoadImage have problems with loading compressed
bitmaps... I don't know why, my friend told me this and
i trust him, because he is writting Windows apps for a long time.
(Compressed bitmaps use RLE encoding scheme (Run Length Encoding)).

He use:
   OleInitialize
and
   OleLoadPicturePath

I have his code how to do this but it is written in assembler...
