don't know, you will have to check the TGA file format. But i compared the first 18 bytes of both a compressed and an uncompressed 16bit TGA file, and they are the same except for byte 2:

compressed TGA header:
00 00 0A 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 5F 00 9F 01 10 00

uncompressed:
00 00 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 5F 00 9F 01 10 00

of course, form the same image.

I've used the code, and it sort of works.... I get the image upside down on the screen, with the colors distorted..... wierd.... what are you ment to send to the function, I assume it's the name of the file?, or the resource handle, but these fails, it expects an unsigned short?

can you give me a simple peice of code to call the function

-thanks, brendan

then all I have to do is somehow ungip the data......... fun
