Some ideas...

Does double clicking on the app allow the images to be seen?
If so, then for Windows, something might be amiss with the 
defaultFolder.

You might...
1. try displaying it in a test version and go from there.
2. try putting a copy of media at the root.
3. try testing for this situation and changing the defaultFolder.
4. try fiddling with a batch file that changes the working directory or 
something.

Are your image paths like this:  media/bell.gif
Or like this: ./media/bell.gif
?

I have some vague memory of the working directory being different for 
98 and 2000 with autorun, but I don't know what is what.

If you have to get something out the door, you might try #2.  It is 
ugly, but it might work.

Just some ideas.
