Toolbar Imagelists not working with all graphics cards (D5)

I have a Delphi 5.1 application that uses bitmaps for its toolbar buttons.

I have a problem when I run it on my new laptop under Windows 98SE. The
graphics is NeoMagic MagicMedia 256AV.

When run from the Delphi IDE on the laptop the program works fine.

When run outside the Delphi IDE the toolbar graphics do not display
properly.
I recall such a problem affecting Delphi 3 programs years ago but I thought
it had been fixed. Can anyone please advise how I can make my program work
properly?

Thanks

It then was a problem with windows. If I remember correctly,
it had something to do with Intenet Explorer loading a
different DLL.

Re:Toolbar Imagelists not working with all graphics cards (D5)

As far as I know, it has to do with the fact, that Windows imagelists draw
upon features that are not correctly implemented in all graphics-card
drivers under full graphics-acceleration. I've had the problem in several
occations and found that it could only be solved by turning off full
graphics-acceleration.

Hope it helps,
