Transparent 24-32 bit images

Ok, I'm a little confused about something, you see I have one texture, which is a transparent PNG which I'm using to draw the cursor, then I have a larger one that I want to use for the background, however, the background image refuses to load:

PNG LOAD: Failure - Format not supported - must be 24 or 32 bits per pixel

I'm not sure why this is, as Photoshop says that both of the images are RGB/8 bit (which is 3*8=24), and one of them loads. The only real difference is that one of the images is 2048x2048 and the other, the one that loads is 32x32.

What am I doing wrong? Should I be using another file format?

The SVN version should contain all necessary patches to have png files working again. I think the buffer was too small and thus refused to load everything larger than 1023 pixels wide.

Thanks, I'll confirm this once I've downloaded and compiled.

I'm using DeusXLs Irrlicht.Net wrapper, so I'll have to work out how update that too...

Irrlicht will not load interlaced PNG files. Make sure they're not interlaced.
