I don't know what the problem is but suggest you
post your question in the autodesk.inventor newsgroup.  It's
intended for general Inventor questions where this newsgroup is specific to
Inventor's programming interface.

27bugsy,

Not a nice solution but try to give normal users write access to the registry key: HKCR .BMP.

Then, try inserting a bpm picture again.

It worked for me.

I had this problem before, im pretty sure that you will need to run inventor with administrator permissions (right click run as admin in vista)
