A generic error occurred in GDI+

[TA]

Hi,

I'm testing an app in a virtual pc (Win 98 SE, framework 1.1 SP1), an i'm
getting "a generic error occurred in gdi+" in screens where there's a
groupbox or a datagrid. if i remove then, it works fine. The error messages
are bellow. Is this a "real" error or is happening just because it's a
virtual pc? Can someone help me?

If you run the same code on a real Win98SE PC, does it fail? (That would
tell you if it's only a VM that fails)

Our app experiences similar problems under Win98 on real machines. We decided
to raise the required OS to Win2000 as a result, Win98 can't really handle
anything more than the simplest .NET applications.
