L O L!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

omg i've NEVER seen such a thing before!!!!... heheh

sorry, but i don't know what a DIB is.

I assume it has something to do with the assumption i made that this is a pirated copy of FL, you're running.

otherwise... you may want to stop the song b4 you do what made this happen.... and maybe check your midi/audio/asio settings for bothersome drivers.

I've experienced weird FL freakouts with random combinations of plugins. Try removing the last thing you added.

what makes you think its pirated??
its never done this before. just today... hmm
whenever im in the piano roll and i go to a different window like IE to check out the forums and come back it will do it. it will happen like crazy if im in the piano roll and im playing the song. and sometimes it will just randomly do it. CRAZY. if anything i will just reinstall...

wild stab in the dark for ya'

DIB may mean "device independent bitmap", a windows thing programs use. FL is pretty good looking so it may be trying to create some bitmap for a VST, tracks, backgrounds etc.

sounds like you ran out of memory, so it couldn't create it's bitmap.

how much RAM have you got?

of course, this may have nothing at all to do with it

Solution:

Restart FL.

And remember:
Do not change active program when playing something in FL. Press stop before going to different window (like IE)

sorry man, it isnt RAM and i know it. i have 1024mb. i have left my computer on before so many times for weeks while doing 3D animations and renderings, multitasking up the wazzoo, and ive never ran out of memory.

*offtopic*

I often get the "Division by zero"-error. It has learned me to save my work often!

But why Fruity, you know you can't divide anything by zero.. HAHAHA

So have I.

But if you get those errors.
Then you must do as I told.
