I usually just doubble click the image file, that is when
it has the proper filetype (STim) and creator (FAST) set.
FX ResEdit let you change these.
The newest VM you can just double click and it will
pop up a dialogbox sking for the image.
Hope this helps

I have not seen this error. But I haven't used the d&d with
the image on VM in quite a while....
