here is a pic of what i am getting, i have tried various image formats they all appear in the preview screen but look like this on the model?
also when I open the first image i get a error message saying something like paint is not my default package etc.. if i hit yes it tells me that I don't have administrative rights ? what does this mean? if I hit no it goes on but I don't see my image, just the window as in the enclosed pic?
What version of Inventor?
Image files must be associated with MS Paint. (search here)
>I really want to put .gif files on with transparent backgrounds
Doesn't have to be gif to achieve transparent. You can control the Properties of an imported image and the lower right pixel in image is used to control transparency.

I click yes, and then I get a message saying that i don't have administrative rights and it won't let me go any further until I click no, then the message doesn't come up again until i re start inventor, is this a bug?
if Inventor wont link your image to Paint then the easiest way I've found is
this:
find the bmp/image file in windows explorer
right click and 1/2 way down is "Open With" - select "choose program"
now select Paint and tick the "Always use" box
OK this and now Paint is associated with that image-type.
see image if it doesn't make sense.
Now restart Inventor and it should be ok...
If it still doesn't link then I'm guessing you've not got Admin rights (or
possibly only Power User is needed for this).
Hope that helps.

this is the error window i get if i click the yest button
I have done this, I rt clk on the file, select run as, select paint they little box "always use this" is ticked but grayed out so I can't change it.
I am logged in as an administrator ???
from the run command
1) run the Regedit command (please note care is required in here and I can't be held responsible for any issues created if this goes wrong!!! and you really don't want to play with the registry settings unless you know exactly what you are doing)
2) open the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT folder
3) open the .bmp folder ( I would advise you rt click on this folder and export a copy of it as a back up )
4) look at the (default) setting it should read paint.picture if not change it so it does
5) save and exit, you will need to restart inventor or possible reboot your machine, it should work, it did for me!
I think what happens is that you install other graphics software and that software hi-jacks the default setting and doesn't let you change it, you will see what the software is before you change it.
You da man! I did this and it's working perfectly with one exception- I could pull in BMP's ok but not JPEG's or JPG's and I got NO error, just the empty box. So I scrolled to the .JPG folder and changed it and it worked the first time.
FWIW, I experimented with a Toshiba notebook I have sitting beside me that I've just installed Win 7 beta. That way, if I had crashed, no problem :). But it didnt and I'm off to the races. Thanks again pal.
