Pretty basic stuff...

I betcha you have fast ram and don't tell AmigaDOS to force the loading
of the picture data into chip ram. Am I right? Two solutions, run 
FixHunk on your executable (it's on Fish Disk 6 or so) or check to see
if your picture data is in chip ram 
	if (TypeOfMem(picturedata) & MEMF_CHIP) /* I'm in chip */
and if it isn't AllocMem some chip ram, copy it in and then call DrawImage
on the copy in CHIP ram.
