When I re-scan my plugins directory, I always get a "bmp failed to load-- are you running out of memory?!" error for several bitmaps when loading DK+. But then of course, it loads fine with no missing bitmaps.
Is there a way around this? Is it Tracktion-specific? It seems like something that DK+ is reporting, rather than something that Tracktion is reporting.
Am I the only one? Is there a fix or a way around this?
1 GB memory, and yeah, sometimes a lot of it IS being used; however, I highly doubt it's so full that it can't initialize a 40k bitmap file.

I recall having this issue when I first used DK+. Make sure you have latest release (1.20). I think I had to do a couple of plugin scans in Tracktion 2 to get it to work.

Same here. Make sure you get the version 1.20 dll-file of the downloadpage. This is NOT the one that's included with the full installer. That one is buggy and crashes Tracktion. Replace it with the 1.20 dll-file and all is dandy fom there.

This is with 1.20, but thanks for the responses anyhow; it's the first thing I should have mentioned along with the problem, since it's natural to ask about version # before anything else.
Thing is-- it works PEFECTLY in T, so it's not a critical error or something that crashes, but I find it strange that it's giving me the error each time I scan it.

Could be. Or maybe 1 GB RAM really ISN'T enough. 
There might be something about the order the plug-ins are being scanned in, and some sort of unexpected conflict with the plug-in scanned directly prior to DK+. I dunno. IT's not a showstopper by any stretch, but I'm the kind of guy who just wonders, "HRmm....what's going on here?"

I have 512mb ram, and I have never had this problem when scanning DK+ in tracktion.

Yeah, I was just joking about that part. I wonder if for some reason it's the skin I'm using or something.... maybe I should try changing skins.
