I am a complete newbie to .net.
I have just built a simple Stopwatch Application but when I F5 to get things going I get this message popping up.


An unhandled exception of type 'System.ArithmeticException' occurred in system.drawing.dll

Additional information: Overflow or underflow in the arithmetic operation.

I am totally stumped. I sent this to my tutor who advised this works on his machine??

Please help I'm desperate..

This occurs after I have built the application and I press F5 to try and get
it going.?

Hi Damien,

When I push F5 it goes normal.
VB.2003 with framework 1.1 what do you have?

Maybe there is a problem in 'Sub InitializeComponent' when calculating
font sizes. Do you use non-standard fonts in your application? Which
Windows version do you use?
