31.2.1.1.3 Specifying BMP instead of WMF graphics

Sometimes when you display and scroll a large bitmap graphic (around 300 KB) in a Help file, Windows 9x resources drop to a point where processing halts. This is a Windows GDI defect acknowledged by Microsoft. It happens with WMF graphics only, not with BMP graphics; and only on Windows 9x systems, not on Windows NT or Windows 2000.

The solution is to use BMP graphics instead of WMF graphics in your Help file:

[Setup]

GraphicExportFormat=BMP

[GraphFiles]

wmf=bmp

To prevent Mif2Go from making your graphics into .wmf files anyway, also set:

[Graphics]

EmbedBMPsInWMFs=No
