After a close look at the SWT-Docs and after Googling we decide to contact
this forum. Hoping, that there is a solution!

Much thanks,

What version of SWT are you using?
I'd try with a .png instead of a gif.

Images are an expensive resource and that not all operating systems support an unlimited number of images. It may be that you just can't keep loading that many images without .dispose()ing of them first of all.

There's a class called ImageDescriptor (it's in JFace.ui) that can help to some extent by only creating images upon demand.
http://help.eclipse.org/help30/topic/org.eclipse.platform.do c.isv/reference/api/org/eclipse/jface/resource/ImageDescript or.html

I don't know what the limits are like on the Win98 systems, but I think that the only way that you will be able to fix this is to create less images or be very careful that you dispose/recreate them on demand.

One other thing about the new Image(display, stream) is that looking at
the code in SWT, I don't see the stream ever being closed. This is also
a handle, so you should do instead:

InputStream in = SWTTest.class.getResourceAsStream("lkv.gif");
if (in != null) {
try {
final Image image2 = new Image(shell.getDisplay(), in);
...
} finally {
try {
in.close();
} catch(IOException e) {
}
}

Also make sure that you are disposing of any image you create when it is
no longer needed.

Much thanks for your answer!

The SWT-Version is actual (V.3.1 from February'05).

The image-resource is as necessary also later disposed. Furthermore we
also tried it with png and ico-Images, the problem reoccurs.

The problem isn't depending on the amount of allocated (image-)resources.
It occurs at _any_, also on the first(!), setImage()-Instruction?!

Does a simple, stand alone SWT program that creates exactly one shell and
one image fail? If so, please enter a bug report with the test code.
Thanks.

My $0.02: I have used Shell setImage() on Win 98, Win ME, Win NT, Win 2K and
Win XP without any problems.
