yes, in Windows Mobile 5 they have knackered imgdecmp.dll (or at least it's likely to fail with current hacks)

but the replacement code is not that difficult and there is a sample in the new SDK's that means it can be up and running pretty quickly (I got it up and running in less than an hour in my non-PF environment)

so I dont think that patching a fix into PF will take long

yes, I have encountered this problem in my new Windows Mobile 2005.At first I thought PocketHAL doesn't support Mobile 2005, at last I found the DecompressImage function cause a infinite loop when it load image.Now I use SHLoadImageFile to replace it,it works well.

I'd be interested in hearing a solution too... Since the pre-2003(?) OS doesn't have SHLoadImageFile and the new 2005 OS doesn't have imgdecmp.dll, has anyone tweaked PF to load using one or the other, based on what's available?

personally I created a separate code path for each OS (switches based on defines) and compile for each OS separately - not ideal, but works

and there are loads of other things to be aware of that are WM5 only, hires support, screen rotation etc - so for me it made sense to create separate codepaths and compile for each OS separately
