Very weird stuff. As both myself and Vomitus developed an inability to open bmp files simultaneously, it was mooted that there may have been a Microsoft upgrade that had 'killed the function. I have tried multiple solutions, but to no avail. However, last night, after yet another series of standard Windows auto upgrades (131 MB's worth!), I took a bunch of screen shots on the off chance I could do something with them (I wanted proof that the game was not giving me credit for 3 out of the 6 Capitals (2 x Heavy and 1 x Light Cruisers).

I did not have much hope, but after the mission, I went to the saved files, and immediately noticed a significant difference. As previously noted, the un-openable files are 3MB files, whereas all of last night's shots were 5MB. Ah,ha! Something is going on. Sure enough, I can open and view them all.

Don't ask me what happened, I'm just glad something, somewhere was changed (but not by me).
