Welcome to the forums.

The issue is probably with image size, physical dimensions. When the pic/fax viewer displays an image it is most likely scaling the large image to a smaller bitmap and that smaller bitmap is what is displayed. VB picture objects are DIB sections and the system dictates how large a DIB can be created and this is what I think is causing your error.

The answer may be simply that you will never be able to display them with an image/picturebox control directly. Rather you will have to scale it to a smaller bitmap (say full screen size at max) and then create a stdPicture object from that bitmap.

Out of curiosity, what are the dimensions of that image?
