I got the error
=================
An unhandled exception of typ
'System.Runtime.InteropServices.ExternalException' occurred i
system.drawing.dl

Additional information: A generic error occurred in GDI+
=================

the code like this

Image aImg = pictrebox1.Image
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream()
aImg.Save(ms,aImg.RawFormat)
 
The error probably comes from the fact that the image has no raw format.
save it as a bitmap, tiff or jpeg.

I tried your code and it worked for me.

Where does your Image come from ?
Have you tried with another picture ?
What happen if you try the same thing in a new project ?
