Once again, Sparkie rules.
The second works fine for me under Vista.

@srod: Thanks... I gotta keep my body heat up in this frigid weather or my guano will freeze up on me. You can't imagine the mess it makes after a spring thaw.

If you can't beat 'em...
(sorry MikeB for the off topic posts.)

...beat them! Because they will be expecting you to join them, so you have the element of surprise.

Thanks to all who have had a go at this problem, it would appear that it is Vista/PB incompatibility on this point and therefore I don't need to carry on straining my brain over it.
As I said I have found a solution that works for what I am doing at the moment, so I will wait for the update that is bound to come along soon to get it working properly, although it will probably be a long time before I want to duplicate large images again.

This looks like it may address the situation...

Good find Sparkie, it looks right on the money. It's hard to believe they're scrimping on storage using word vars for anything in a piece of bloatware like that.

You'd think Vista would move forward rather than backwards with CopyImage_() in order to keep up with the ever increasing resolution of digital cameras of the 21st Century. :roll:

If the service pack is coming out in the first quarter of next year, that will do for me. My all singing, dancing picture viewer now does just about everything, mostly specific to my rather strange requirements.
It is however a bit of a prize muck-up that some idiot decided to use a word value as parameter for digital images
Anyway many thanks to Sparkie for solving the mystery!

Does it happen with GrabImage() as well?

Replacing CopyImage() with GrabImage() works fine here with Vista.

I must be dense, I never thought of GrabImage!
However I just tried it and it works fine with my Vista 32 bit with an image of 3648×2736.

Also GrabImage is far faster than CopyImage.
