    I have attached a sample program that reproduces the problem we are having. Just double click on the screen to open a form and you should get the error.

    The software is running on Windows 2008 R2 Standard Service Pack 2.

    The resulting exception details is below:

    ************** Exception Text **************

    System.ArgumentException: Parameter is not valid.

    Hi Daniel!

    Following is sequence of steps that were performed at my end:

    1. Ran your sample application. ‘Except’ screen appears.
    2. Double click on this screen. And then, RibbonForm1 appears.

    As per observations at your end, RibbonForm1 should not have been appeared. And ArgumentException should be thrown, stating ‘Parameter is not valid’. Right?

    Since I was not able to see this problem at my end, please confirm if I am missing any step.

    Also, let me know your VS version so that I can further investigate this issue.

    Regards,

    Meenakshi

    The screen shot is from the machine running the software with the error.

    Capture is the copy of the setup for the build machine (which doesn’t get the error).

    Doing some research on this myself, I found

    https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14099246/system-drawing-parameter-is-not-valid

    Which for someone else states

    The problem was that, due to the way I load the actual images into memory, the images weren’t being given enough time to fully load in most of my tests. The ones that succeeded were the ones that allowed enough time for the images to load.

    And also

    I found also this trying to look for answers. be aware that it can also throw the exception when:

    stream contains a PNG image file with a single dimension greater than 65,535 pixels.

    I don’t know if it is either of these issues that your compenet doesn’t seem to be handling but thought I’d help your developers out with what I found.

    It would appear to be quiet a common Microsoft problem that other developers seem to have addressed for their products. Hope you can find the solution soon.
