    GDI+ Error - Is this a problem for anyone else?

    We've discovered a problem when moving our development machines to Windows 7. Basically, in the RTM version, projects that contain a .jpeg, .bmp or .gif won't load in the Visual Studio IDE. We've got quite a few of these so this represents a major refactoring project for us if we want to upgrade to Windows 7 (nb, the built app runs fine in 7, it just won't load in the ide).

    I'm just wondering how many others have experienced the problem and if anyone's found a satisfactory work around.

    Strange, what happens if you "force" ide to run as admin? Or even disable UAC?

    I'm told that we've checked both of these and still had the problem. It's only exhibiting on my manager's machine though (we haven't upgraded any other to Windows 7 yet and don't want to until we can resolve this) and he's out of the office today. I'll double check and make 100% sure when he's back in on Monday.

    edit> It's probably also worth highlighting that this wasn't an issue in the beta versions of Windows 7, it only appeared in the RTM. That's discussed more thoroughly in the link.

    Well, if your compiled program runs without a problem then it's not the GDI but some kind of permissions issue (perhaps ide isn't permitted to read from one of your folders where you store images).
