Sorry to contradict, but my frame tools work perfectly well in 8-bit or
24-bit mode, and they do not rely on any kind of startup file. Please
feel free to give them a try at

I believe that my original reply effectively gave the same advice, but
apparently it did not work for Rose. Rose, could you elaborate a little

opening any graphics windows?

Cheers,
