	You *must* ensure that you have de-selected the object *before*
	you delete it.

	HBITMAP old_hbitmap,hbitmap;
		hbitmap=....this is the bitmap you have loaded
		old_hbitmap=SelectObject(hdc,hbitmap);
		...
		SelectObject(hdc,old_hbitmap);
		DeleteObject(hbitmap);

	If you are already doing that, then I have no other ideas.
