Recently my billboard-usability got killed somehow. I am using windows 7 and had no problems with them before. I already did the cmd procedure a thousand times but that doesn't seem to be the problem. Game crashes when i add a new billboard or reimage an old one though it doesn't happen immediately all the time. In example: i could happily build a whole billboard maze for about half an hour one time and have a game crash even before the game is loaded the other time.
Another thing is that when i start from scratch, all picture-files are selectable. But every time the game crashes more pictures get grayed out. However they are still visible on billboards i placed and saved before game-crash. I am going nuts!

If you’re suddenly having this problem with the same park chances are that, between the time your billboards worked fine and now, you’ve added a great deal to your park.
In a huge park that's maxxing out your CPU, RAM, graphics card and game engine, RCT3 will occasionally crash when we try to add another billboard image. The game engine seems to put a low priority on the billboard images in that the game will alternatively drop the link it has with a small percentage of the images you have placed on your billboards (about 10-20% in my experience), and will at such times also have trouble identifying the images you have placed in your My Documents\My Pictures folder, graying out the images and listing them as “unsuitable.†This is a temporary problem and when this happens, if the image remains greyed out you will need to replace the image on the billboard after the next time the park is opened (the image won't re-link on its own). Although as mentioned the game has temporarily indicated the images in your folder are unsuitable your images are just fine and can still be used the next time you reopen a park.
Huge sprawling parks seem to be more prone to this problem. Usually when this happens to me I can continue to play my park as regular, making sure to check my billboards before taking screenshots. When adding images to my billboards causes my park to crash this tells me my system is not only running full tilt flat out on the game but is choking on my park and it’s definitely time to minimize the park or reconsider an upgrade my graphics card. You would also do well to ensure your system has more than 2GB of RAM.
