Can you find an older driver? or another version of a NeoMagic driver? You
may find that some of the other (Neomagic) drivers may work. eg try a PCI
driver instead of an AGP driver (I presume if it's a new machine that the
driver is AGP based) - if such a beast exists.
I have copied some of the commentary from this thread to Dell
support to see if they can help. Of course their first question was "Is it
only Delphi that is causing the problem?". And of course the answer had to
be "Yes".
Should answer "NO" to this. As Max pointed out "Any" application that uses
imagelists "SHOULD" have this problem - but I can't prove that - need a
machine that displays the problem.
Can somebody create a program in VC++ that displays (verifies) the same
problem? eg. Load up 150-300 bitmaps into an imagelist and see if you can
display them.
You driver proof seems to exist with the MS VGA driver not displaying the
problem.
