We incorporate the image maps into our program as instances of the class ImageMap which is part of the Utils library. The constructor requires two string parameters -- the path to the folder holding the image map and the name of the bmp file. We use the absolute path, starting with the drive name, to the folder holding the bmp files. Using a path relative to the folder containing the executable program creates strange results in Vista whereas the problem did not occur with XP. We can easily obtain an absolute path using the function setPath.
