Please correct the highlighted errors and try again.

• The file does not have a valid extension for an attachment. jpg,gif,txt,xls,vi,zip,doc,llb,pdf,png,seq,c,h,cpp,cs,vb,ini,gz,ctl,scr,ico,tar,z,uir,vit,wsp,tsw,rtf,lvproj,xctl,lvlib,cfg,ppt,pps,lks,spy,bld,lep,xlt,xltx,dot,dotx,docx,xlsx,cap,tui,csv,seproj,vip,ogp,vipc,ms10,ms11,ewprj,log,vix,lvprojx are the valid extensions.

Which is why someone suggested to "archive it, e.g. into ZIP or 7ZIP"

I'm guessing this isn't a BMP file at all and is a PNG.  Try using the Read PNG File.vi instead.

Actually It was not working with read PNG or BMP files but I have done it with using IMAQ create and IMAQ Read file .vi 

Thanks for your responses.

I do not think that your problem is/was a 32bit colour depth. I see 24bit depth. I think that the header of the BMP file is corrupt.

The http://asecuritysite.com/information/bmp site told me the following:

which states enourmous image height at the 23-26th  header bytes.

@The header of @nk's pictures results in a counter overflow in one of "Read BMP File.vi"'s SubVis. You could do a work around like this:

Unfortunately, tthere's another issue which I narrow down to "Flip and Pad for Picture Control.vi". The effect look's like this:

If you bypass "Flip and Pad for Picture Control.vi" this results in the following image:
