Thanks for the replies but unfortunatly they dont bring me any closer to an answer. The following is a summary of the test machines :

1) Win 2000 (SP2) - 1024*768 - 32bit color depth
2) Win XP - 1024*768 - 32bit color depth
3) Win 2000 (SP2) - 1024*768 - 32bit color depth
4) Win XP - 1024*768 - 32bit color depth

Now my form background transparency works fine on machines 1 & 2 but does not work on other two (2 & 3). I have also noticed that "opacity" works on all machines (i.e. setting the entire form to 25% opactity results in a "see through" form)

I have also tried using different image formats (i.e. gif) and also different transparency colors (current using fuschia (255,0,255) all to no avail.

I am 100% this is probably all being caused by some option I have missed, but if that is the case it isnt detailed in MSDN link above

Once again, thanks for the replies so far, any further suggestions would be greatly appreciated

PS. if anybody is interested enough, a copy of the VS .NET projects files can be found here (http://www.randomportal.com/shapedwindow.zip 256kb) - bear in mind this is a test application and is not "pretty"

PPS. Alternativly the following is the source code for the form (bear in mind that the image is held with a resx resource file). This code is also autogenerated by VS .NET, so one would assume that its correct, hmmmm

using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Collections;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Data;

namespace ShapedWindow
{
public class Form1 : System.Windows.Forms.Form {
private System.ComponentModel.Container components = null;

public Form1() {
InitializeComponent();
}

protected override void Dispose( bool disposing ) {
if( disposing ) {
if (components != null) {
components.Dispose();
}
}
base.Dispose( disposing );
}

private void InitializeComponent()
{
System.Resources.ResourceManager resources = new System.Resources.ResourceManager(typeof(Form1));
this.AutoScaleBaseSize = new System.Drawing.Size(5, 13);
this.BackgroundImage = ((System.Drawing.Bitmap)(resources.GetObject("$this.BackgroundImage")));
this.ClientSize = new System.Drawing.Size(229, 228);
this.Name = "Form1";
this.StartPosition = System.Windows.Forms.FormStartPosition.CenterScreen;
this.Text = "Form1";
this.TopMost = true;
this.TransparencyKey = System.Drawing.Color.Fuchsia;
}

[STAThread]
static void Main() {
Application.Run(new Form1());
}
}
}
