Weird looking Loading Screen

Hi.

I've managed to create lots of loading screens for my earlier maps, they all worked like a charm.
With my current map, though, I can't get it to work for the life of me. :(

I first used the picture that I really wanted, but it didn't work.
So I used one of my pictures to see if that would help, but it didn't..

It turns out like this:

The picture should look like this:

Does anyone know how to fix this?
I've tried saving the .tga (that I later converted to .blp, because of the file size) with different resolutions (16bits/pixel, 24b/px, 32b/px). Both 24 and 32 turns out like the screenshot above, 16 doesn't work at all.

Is it 512/512 in pixel dimension? If not - resize it. If it doesn't work, send me the file and I'll check if it bugs for me too.

Changing to 512x512 works somewhat.
It gets hard to test the map (when the map loads WC3 is minimized, if I click on it it gets automatically minimized again. I clicked a couple of times, then it worked. Really weird..)

I was using 800x600 and 1024x768 earlier.

Any other resolution that might work?

EDIT: 768x768 works too, but the silly resolution really ruins the picture. :p

EDIT #2: Does anyone know how to use a custom loading screen, without having to 'click any button to continue'?

I have a problem with my loading screen, and I think it's because I use Vista atm, maybe that's the villian?

And 512x512 is ideal for making own loading screens. An other solution is to take the picture and cut em up to 4 different pictures of the same size like Blizz did in their campaign maps if I recall right.

Maybe this helps?

And this is the other solution I mentioned

I'm using Vista.
I cut my picture up in 4 pictures and it works fine. (Except for the file size. Wish it would work with .blp, not only .tga)
