Thanks again TLAM Strike.

I decompressed the SonarBB BMPs and they all look fine when I look at them with MS Paint so the bitmaps themselves don't appear to be the issue. It must be the drivers for the graphics chip or the graphics chip itself.

It looks like the BMPs are 24 bits per pixel. My understanding is that DW is rendered in 16 bits per pixel so maybe the issue happens when the BMP is converted from 24 bpp to 16 bpp - a bad sub-pixel offset or something like that.

Is it possible to recombine the decompressed BMPs back into the original files? I wanted to try playing around with the BMPs and be able to see the effects.

I really appreciate the help you've provided so far.
