First of all, thank you all for your help!!
What happened was a series of issues that I'm still trying to understand but basically here is what I found.
1) Trying to edit a pic on a Mac and then bringing it to the Dark Side causes some issues with the image that something as delicate as iGo or WinCE just can't cope with. It's not a little/big endian issue but it's there (like the branding.ini file is a different size when opened with Notepad than with Text Edit). Not sure if that has an impact but since there's really nothing in there but a web site or other. But small inconsistencies that made for a 2.4KB difference in total file size.
2) VuePrint caused a lot of grief by not overriding the existing image so I abandoned it for WinRar.
3) I'm not sure whether the dpi count has any impact on it because VuePrint showed 160dpi whilst I had set it to 96dpi.
4) Once I had Yubuh's image working, I went back and got my image, scaled it and using WinRar replaced it and it worked.
Again, thank you so much for your help and Happy New Year from 66 degrees North and -40F
