Maplet bug (Assuming it goes here)

I've had Blitz3D for a while now, reinstalled it after not using it for a while and installed Maplet. However, something strange occurred. Anytime I open Maplet up, Windows immediately opens up an error report window. Inevitably, I have no choice but to click an option and Maplet closes.

I think I've narrowed down the reason to a color issue; whenever I open up the properties for Maplet, go to compatibility and click 'run in 256 colors', it works fine. Then I can turn the color back to highest mode and use the program and it has fair color. The problem is that it although it is usable, it looks grainy, and is kind of annoying. Does anybody know why Maplet would be acting like this?

(I've already tried reinstalling it many times.)

You don't happen to be using vista do you? I have had the same problem on vista. Maplet and vista don't mix but if your not using vista then IDK how to help you there.

Nope, I'm using XP. Unfortunately, I don't seem to be the only one with the same problem.
