Windows GDI Error.

[mattatwork]

Hello, I'm stumped on this one. We developed a windows application and it runs fine on my XP development box. At clients however, both the 98SE machine and the ME machine are generating this error. Sometimes it is random other times it consistently happens. I've tried reinstalling the framework but to no avail. Also, it referenced an icon so I remove the icon but that didn't help either. Any ideas?

I'm not saying this is the bug but rather that i would try to manualy copy GDIPLUS.dll file in System folder as it is not there by default in win 98SE. However, FW should care about this but obvioulsy it is not always like that.
Anyway give it a try

HTH
