I see in the archive that there was once a little thread about invisible sprites on Windows and I'm wondering if there was any resolution. I too have found that my sprites are invisible on Windows 98. This is running in VPC (5), if that might make any difference. I'm thinking there might be a screen depth issue, but I'm not sure what it would be. I tried several different screen depths. In my code I'm doing Screen(0).depth to set the bits of my sprites. I wonder if this is a bad idea.

It's certainly worth trying a hard-coded 16 or 32 instead, which it what I generally use. I don't know what the problem might be -- Win98 and VPC is what I use too, and sprites show up for me. Can you reproduce it in a simple app? Please try, and report it with REALbugs, and we'll see what we can do.

Best,
