I'm running Blitzplus on a vista computer. Whenever I try to load an image and then draw it, when I try to run the program it brings up an error saying 'Invalid Image handle' and it won't compile.

A sample of what Im writing follows:

graphics 640,480

shipimage = loadimage("ship.bmp")

drawimage shipimage,320,240

flip

waitkey

Any idea what is wrong here or what could fix it? Thanks.
