What is all the "disableSPI()" for?
Does the unmodified example code work?

The unmodified example script works perfectly fine.

That little bit of code is from lines 77+93+95+97 of the example just compressed down - is there a better way to try and do what I'm doing?

Are you using an entirely different code than the one provided by the .bmp sketch? If so, may I have your entire code? I'd like to try it myself and see what happens.
bmpFile = SD.open("tiger.bmp");
disableSPI();
bmpdraw(bmpFile, 0, 0);
disableSPI();
delay(1000);
bmpFile = SD.open("test.bmp");
disableSPI();
bmpdraw(bmpFile, 0, 0);
disableSPI();
delay(1000);
bmpFile = SD.open("test2.bmp");
disableSPI();
bmpdraw(bmpFile, 0, 0);
disableSPI();

:evil: I have since purchased an Adafruit microSD card and the shield from Adafruit is still not recognizing that there is a card in the slot. I was told that this card was guaranteed to work. It does not. What do you suggest I do now?? The graphics sketch work fine so that would mean the shield is fine right? Or do I need another shield from you people?

:| It is definitely a hardware problem with the shield microSD reader slot. I would like another shield shipped to me immediately. I will gladly return the shield i have since it doesn't work properly. Lend me your thoughts to solving this issue. I would appreciate a prompt reply.

:evil: I have purchased from Adafruit the microSD card yet it still doesn't work in the shield's microSd slot. I believe it is a hardware problem with the shield. How can I get a replacement shield? My Arduino works just fine. The graphics test sketch is the only thing that works on the shield. Please, lend me your thoughts.

I am sending you back the 2.8" TFT Touch Shield with the microSD card. You people are not realizing that you stuff is not working properly. I have tried a number of times to get the Shield to recognize the microSD formatted FAT16 card that I also purchased from you. I is just not working. I wanted to get the tiger.bmp to load but how can I when it doesn't realize I have the proper card inserted. I am requesting a full refund for the shield. What is your address please?
