Weird exception that I can't seem to pin point with try/catch

This is the exception I'm getting.

Code:

So I basically have a custom tree view control that lists documents that are grouped by date and case number.

The user selects a document from the list and presses an 'open' button which opens the document in a third party document viewer that allows drawing on the document via a tablet pc.

Now on the form where the custom tree view control resides there is a thread that loops and checks a database for new document arrivals or switching of document queues.

When I open a document, I Suspend() that thread and Resume() when the document is closed.

For some reason sometimes when I close a document and the Form that the tree view control resides on start to redraw or become focused, I get the above error.

It also creates another tab that says "No Source Available: No symbols are loaded for any call stack frame. The source code cannot be displayed."

Has anyone encountered an error similar to this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Justin

Is there a way to create thread with elevated system authority? I really don't think my thread is the issue though. It seems like the loading of the form is throwing a memory access error.

Just wondering.

Thanks again.

Apparently Enable XP Visual Styles in the application tab in properties was the culprit. It's now throwing that error anymore, but my forms look like they were developed in 95. Is there a way around this to allow my application to look semi modern?

I un-checked that option and open/closed the third party document viewer 45 times with now error.

thanks,

Justin
