Nevermind, I found a free way to do it. Here's How.

Download and install this DLL File installer from http://www.mnwright.btinternet.co.uk/graphix.htm

Download and install Show image converter from the same location.

Make your image in whatever graphics program you want and save it as a standard 24bit or 32 bit bmp then open it in Show image converter and save it as "WindowsNT 16 bit bitmap (565)"

and you are done.

Note: Make sure your image is 24 bit or 32 bit before opening it in Show otherwise you might not see the "WindowsNT 16 bit bitmap (565)" option in the dropdown box.

Free is always a good option MightyMouth!! I use Image Converter Plus that runs about $50 per license (which isn't bad if you use it a lot, but for a one-trick pony....) found here:
http://www.imageconverterplus.com/

But if the way you posted works well, problem solved for everyone...good find!!

Awesome tip! I was going crazy trying to find something that worked. Thanks for posting it.

ok, really confused.. I followed all the steps above but when I select the image for " new background" imarche skinner says to select an 16 bit image with the correct resolution ? my guess is I'm missing somethign very obvious..

Thanks,
