Hi Damien,
You have caused an unhandled exception by some math
operation, such as divide by zero or something simelar. Put your code in a
try catch block to get more information.

Try
'Your code goes here

Catch ex as Exception

messagebox.show( ex.toString()

End Try

This will help you define the problem.

in system.drawing.dll

can anyone help??

Only by pure guesswork without seeing the actual code.

First guesses would be dividing by zero using integral data types
(Integers, Longs and such like) - the cleverer number types don't
display different symptoms or dodgy arguments to the Trigonometrical
functions you're using to draw your "stopwatch".

HTH,

This error can be caused by font calculations in 'Sub
InitializeComponent'. Sorry, I don't know any fix...
