As for your problem.

That's an indication that your video driver has a bug.  This is a bug in
how the driver is handling the ImageList API.  When building an
imageList through the API, the driver starts the image in internal
memory.  When the list gets to a certain size it must switch to main
memory to finish building the ImageList.  This is when the freeze or image
corruption happens.  There is very little Borland can do as this is a driver
bug.  This has traditionally hit the S3 drivers.

try these workarounds

1) Get the latest driver (www.s3.com or your vendor if your vendors
doesn't work, try the S3 as they tend to be more compliant)
2) Start BCB with the -ns switch
3) Under the [display] section of the SYSTEM.INI file
add the following line
    BusThrottle=1 (reboot afterwards)
4) reduce the hardware acceleration for the card.
5) Reboot in safe mode and start BCB.  Goto the properties of the
component pallet and hide all the controls that you rarely use.  This
will reduce the imagelist that is getting built and might get you under
the threshold.
6) play with color depth/resolution  1024x768 in 16 bit color seems the
worse.
7) Get the latest DirectX drivers. 

Also BCB4 can not run in under 256 color on Win98 due to a Win98 bug.
