Use a utility such as irfanview to reduce your color depth to 256 colors and the snaps will show up fine.   This is a limitation of arcadeOS.

Irfanview

Hmmm. I converted to 256, and I still can't get them to show :(
Anymore suggestions?

Cool... I did some tinkering, and found out that the png's cannot be zipped. *My mistake!
I unzipped the SNAP.zip fully, into the c:\mame\snap directory, and now I can see the shots 100%.
