Nicholas,
My best guess is that the TextureLoader doesn't know how to load Windows
Bitmap images. I read in the specs that unless JAI ("Java Advanced
Imaging") is installed, it calls the AWT Toolkit getImage method, which
standalone only loads .gif, .jpeg, and I think .png format images.
I would install or re-install the JAI API and try again. Otherwise, you
can write your own bitmap loader if necessary. I have some code that will
load bitmaps, if you are in need of it email me.
Best,
Steve
