Runtime error when displaying a Bitmap

When executing the following code, I recieve a runtime error upon launching the about box, which is to display a bitmap.
Unhandled exception at 0x772ebae5 in bitmap_test.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000081.

The code for the Dialog Box:

	case WM_PAINT:

		SendMessage(GetDlgItem(hDlg,SS_BITMAPimg1), STM_SETIMAGE, IMAGE_BITMAP,
 LPARAM(LoadImage(hInst, (LPCWSTR)IDB_BITMAP1, IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0, LR_LOADFROMFILE)));
		EndPaint(hDlg, &ps);
		return (INT_PTR)TRUE; 
	}
	return (INT_PTR)FALSE;
}


Can anyone help me with this, please? Thanks.

You should run it with the debugger and see which line causes the access violation.
Ok, done: The Debugger (VS 2010 Prof.) stops execution before line 167. I've marked in the code.
