Try replacing bitmaps.map. Any problem you have is probably coming from there.

Your original bitmaps.map might be infected, then. I'd recommend reinstalling. This error usually occurs when the bitmaps.map file becomes corrupted, and overwriting with the original file usually fixes the problem. But if you say you tried that and it didn't work, the only thing I'd assume is that your original bitmaps.map has gone bad.

Open up the cd. If you don't know how, go to "My Computer", And go to your cd drive. Right click it and go to open. Now go to filescab and check all of the .rar archives until you find bitmaps.map
