Ah! I was fortunate enough to have a full color card (24bit) back in
'91 or something like that - certainly in '93 so I forget that some
computers still have 256 colors!

Ah, ok. So does that mean that the text etc. on the welcome screen
for example on the CR 11 "CrystalReports11_NET_EmbeddedInstall.msi"
covers the width of the window and the text on the window is on the
image? When I look at screenshots it appears that may be the case.

I would just really like to be able to include a nice image and not
have to worry about it being scaled up. Scaling the other way is
generally much better as long as the aspect ratio is preserved.
