The 24 of the image is irrelevant. 
If the 16 bit writing does not work, then 
- either the win32 intf has set the wrong shift and prec values 
- or WriteRawImageBits in intfgraphics.pas for BitsPerPixel=16 has to change
lo and hi byte.

The 5 lines in WriteRawImageBits simply replace some bits of a word. 
If you think, that the win32 intf has set the right values then you can try
to replace
  TwoBytes:=PWord(P)^;
with
  TwoBytes:=(PByte(P)^ shl 8)+PByte(P)^;


The only way to make sure: I suggest you create a bitmap in 16 bit mode,
paint it red, then green, then blue and read the first word, to see how
windows manages colors.
