Using an App called Lyricist for making music score sheets showing guitar chord diagrams and song lyrics. This problem occurred with Vista and Windows 7, involving the insertion of bitmap images when creating new songs. Instead of displaying the chord's BMP image, a file icon is created at the insertion point. However, previously created songs display properly.
Here is the Lyricist technical support solution that worked with previous versions of MS Windows.
Error message during Chord insertion:
Some users have received an error message when
attempting to insert Chords. Others have been able to insert Chords, but
they appear as "thumbnails" (a reduced version of the bitmap with the
name of the .bmp file displayed beneath it). We have found that both of
these issues are related to a Microsoft browser bug and can be reproduced in MS
Wordpad. The good news is that they are commonly resolved with a minor registry
tweak. We have created a file that will perform this tweak easily and
safely.
This suggestion and their tweak file do not correct the problem in Windows 8. The App company is not planning to offer a Windows 8 upgrade any time soon.
Anyone else having problems with BMP files? Any suggestions on how to solve this issue?
