Error Saving Images: A generic error occurred in GDI+.

[Tim::..]

Hi can someone please tell me why I keep getting the following error and how I might fix it

...::ERROR::.
Exception Details: System.Runtime.InteropServices.ExternalException: A generic error occurred in GDI+

The line causing the problem is outputImage.Save, but I really don't understand why

...::CODE::.
System.Drawing.Bitmap outputImage = new System.Drawing.Bitmap(origBitmap, newWidth, newHeight)
outputImage.Save(Server.MapPath(basePath + System.IO.Path.GetFileName(_FileName.Value)),Syste m.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg)

statusinfo.InnerHtml = "Uploaded " + Server.MapPath(basePath + System.IO.Path.GetFileName(_FileName.Value))

Thanks for any help!

It's strange because it works fine if I point it at a folder in the root directory of the iis server ie: c:/inetpub/wwwroot/image

but as soon as I add a level to the structure the code gets the same message as mentioned above

Any ideas??

Thanks
