    GDI+ Error... Need Help...

    Alright, I'm working on a project for class that I need to use both .gifs and .wavs. I've gotten the .wavs to work, but some of the gifs bring up a GDI+ error when I run the program. Here's the error message...

    An unhandled exception of type 'System.Runtime .InteropService s.ExternalExcep tion' occurred in system.windows. forms.dll

    Additional information: A generic error occurred in GDI+.


    Here's a part of the code that's giving me a problem.

    Private Sub lblThirstMagic_ Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArg s) Handles lblThirstMagic. Click

    ' This plays an audio clip and changes the picturebox to the proper .GIF.
    ' Audio Clip Used: ThirstMagic.wav
    ' Animation Used: ThirstMagicAnim .gif

    gintCurrentLeng th = 3
    gstrCurrentAnim = "ThirstMagi c"

    tmrStopAnimatio n.Enabled = True

    wmPlayer.URL = "ThirstMagic.wa v"
    pbxAnimation.Im age = System.Drawing. Image.FromFile( "ThirstMagicAni m.gif")

    End Sub


    I know the line that's giving me trouble; it's the pbxAnimation part. The problem is, I don't know WHY it's doing it. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I'm running on VB.NET 2003.
Working...
