Apart from the unresolved mystery why on your end your setup is attempting file reads while they don't happen here (must be due to some difference in our two data sets?) ...


Don't rule out file system or hard disk corruption.  Several years back, we had a strange case like this where the player suffered from some mysterious low-level file/disk corruption.  We had to provide him with a special Graphics folder download to work around his difficulties.

Before you get too far, consider having Windows scan your disk for file system errors.  Beyond that, try to do a BIOS-level scan of your disk for hardware errors.  Either wouldn't hurt.

Is your video RAM perhaps insufficient?  Such that the game engine is throttled when attempting too many .bmp file reads?

Again, these are just guesses.

Good luck.
