I load an image and paste it as a background.
then I attempt to place a sprite on screen.
the sprite is there, but the BG has dissapeared leaving a blue screen. Please in simple terms WHY.

The blue screen is probably the 3D screen. Bitmaps don't work on 3D screens. DB Pro has 3D sprites, so using them could activate 3D mode.

DB Classic should not have this problem. Then it is your code.

This is just a bare bones code to test out why this happens, as I have a number of projects where I have had to turn the BG into a sprite to keep it in place and I am sure this should not be correct.
The only other thing that works is to put the "paste image" in the main loop and I can't see this being correct either.Thanks Sunrise 3D

Using sprites as the bg is the best way really then you can set the priority of other images over it the menu in my themeparksim is sprites

Thanks Sunrise 3D. I was a bit worried in case I was being a bit heavy on the memory when there was another way arround this.
My computer is showing it's age. Like me.
