You can find out if this is the problem by starting the Task Manager
(Ctrl-Alt-Del) and while looking at the Processes tab, select the
"Select Columns..." option from the View menu. There should be an option
to show the number of GDI objects in use by each process. The limit on
XP seems to be 9999 per process (you do seem to be inserting more images
than that).
