I have !TransFSI in !Boot.Resources and !ChangeFSI in Utilities. 
Iyonix and OvPro exactly as yours.

OvPro loads JPEGS when they are dragged into a frame.

However ... your file: Intro-Rulewater-0001/jpg (50K) seems to load 
but is invisible!
Loading it into DPingScan and saving as a Sprite gives a file which is 
a visible image; saving as a JPEG (22K!) gives a file which is a 
visible image.

The problem may be this particular JPEG; and/or where you have put 
!TransFSI

Hope this helps.
