We'll test this on other systems here tomorrow. It doesn't crash on mine, neither in release nor debug mode. Are you running any other applications that use GDI+ at the same time as the test project?

Stoyan

System Tray Has:
McAfee Virus Scanner & Personal Firewall (Firewall service is disabled)
Google Talk
Google Updater
Dell Support
Windows Defender
QuickTime

I've turned all of those off and closed all applications and I still have the issue.

I've sent via email a new version of the code (which allows the dialog to be closed) and a detailed MFC dump (using the MFC trace utility) of the problem.

I hope that helps narrow down what could be wrong!

With all exceptions breaking into the debugger when thrown, the call stack is identical:
