It's difficult to say really. The generic error is usually the result of a
GDI+ function returning a status code of 1 (see
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/?...sreference/enumerations/status.asp?frame=true).

Are you doing any custom drawing? What happens if you manually resize the
form to be almost fullscreen?
