Can you post the form's complete code?

Hi

I've been getting the very same error on the very same operating system configuration, so here's my code. This was generated by adding a windows form with all default properties (including the name even) and then adding a label control with all default properties. If I run the form WITHOUT a control, it works. But as soon as I add ANY control, it gets a System.Arithmet icException error in System.Drawing. I've marked the line of code where it errors out with an asterisk
