one more question: ICONS problem

[sugawara]

so i have a bunch of premade icons right? well AM wont use em. and when i try to open them in the icon editor it tells me that " these are not win 3.0 icons" or to that extent.
yet i know these are icons and they fit the criteria of the webpage instructions, they are 32x32 and they are ico. and it said that for millions of colors all it had to be is in ICO format. yet why do they not work? and how can i convert them to win 3.0 icons to use?

thankyou!

Well, I don't know if this issue is related to the other problem that you've posted or not.
Or if these are icons that have been renamed to an .ico extension.
Would it be possible to attach/upload one of these icons so that I could check if it works for me or not?

[sugawara]

yeah absolutely, here is one of the pngs:



and here is one of the .icos

for some reason, when i try to convert the png to ico it wont work, and for some other reason these icos will not work. is there any png to ico program that works really well that i could also get?

thankyou much for all the help!

Thanks.
Indeed, your .ico didn't work on my laptop either when trying to open in the Icon Editor of AM.
What I did then, I've opened your .ico in Irfan View (without problems) and saved it from there again as .ico. AM accepted this new .ico.

Well, I can't tell you the reason why this is so, but it is

Btw, I'm using Irfan View to convert images. It's a free software which can do a lot in my opinion:

And Gimp is also a great software for image manipulation and file conversion:

EDIT: I've tried to do the same prodedure with Gimp, but AM didn't accept the new .ico...

I'm confident that it might work.
