Hi..Checkout this... Problem 1:----------------------- Solution 1: Please position mask at right positon. your image & mask are not overlap exactly.that's not matter which tool you used to create background..as I always use painbrush. Problem2:-------- Solution 2: this is your coding problem..please check again. Problem 3:----------- Solution 3: You sud use your own bug tracking system.. How? Make a Dialog and place static text on that. check error & show & use that dialog. One other way you can customize this by storing bitmap(and mask) setting in file or database. & while starting application check that file or database & use bitmap and mask according to that.. OK!

fetch the thread list and suspend all of them. Don't try it, just do it! ;-)

If you search @ msdn.microsoft.com for "autorun usb", you'll see that it is possible to associate apps to removable drives for autorun if you're using Autoplay V2 (embedded in WinXP). I guess (!) that PenDrive Autorun associate itself with removable USB drives and if an USB drive is added to the system and XP is polling what application likes to autorun, PenDrive Autorun says 'yes' if autorun.inf is found. So WinXP gives the control to PenDrive Autorun and PenDrive Autorun executes the file specified in autorun.inf. But that is only a guess. If it's true, than it's not possible to trigger an autorun from the USB, so only if PenDrive Autorun (or something like it) is installed on the computer, the trick will work.
