I know that this is an old post, but this has solved my problem! Thanks! +5 :)

Thank your response. Sadly, at this stage I don't think I will be able to transition to another component. But never the less I appreciate your comment have bookmarked that link. Thanks!

For the time being I am going to put this problem on hold and step away from it for brief period of time. I have spent almost 2 days trying to figure out why such a few computers exhibit this problem. I still believe the solution is quite obvious.

Yeah your solution worked as well. I ended up adding some more variables that were unnecessary and became unstable. Once I removed them it worked just fine. Well, thanks for the help.

Oh my! It works. I copied and pasted what you put and it works. What was I doing wrong? Maybe the Image Object was making things unstable. This whole time I was thinking that you had to give it a Image Object. Never tried the bitmap by itself. Well... thanks.

Thanks for the help. I am still receiving the same error I have posted under Dave's solution ("Parameter is not valid"). It seems GDI+ becomes unstable when you pair it with a Bitmap Object. I even tried reducing the image size to see if that will help, but I get the same error.

What I plan on doing is using the code you posted and placing it in a separate solution and see if I get the same results.

Thanks though.

Posted is the code that I am testing out.

Dim bmpPictureBox As New Bitmap(Me.Picture1.Width, Me.Picture1.Height)
Dim imgToBeCopied As Image
imgToBeCopied = bmpPictureBox
m_Graphics.FromImage(imgToBeCopied)
'Any function called from m_Graphics receives the "Parameter not valid."
'For instance this does not work m_Graphics.Clear(Color.White)
Clipboard.SetImage(imgToBeCopied)

The dimensions of my PictureBox that I want the Bitmap to use is: 840x 400. Hopefully that is not too large. Maybe I can make it smaller and see what happens.

Grr... I thought it was just me, but it seems a bunch of people who have used the GDI+ bitmap solution that you have suggested are receiving the problem that I am now getting "Parameter is not valid." This is when you call any GDI+ function after you initialize it using the FromImage using a bitmap. Hmmm, not sure what to do at this point. Back to the drawing board (pun not intended :) ).

Your advice works in theory so I will give it an accept solution, but does not get me the what I want. I appreciate the help Dave.

Thanks Dave for that. I am currently running some experiments so I get a grasp of this.

I see your point. I didn't realize all that. You learn something new everyday. Thanks for the clarification! :)

MAC addresses are not unique? I always thought they were. Is it at least virtually unique? What are the odds that 2 network adapters having the same address (rhetorical just thinking out loud)?

Or do you mean that a person can change their MAC address thus violating it's uniqueness if it was unique to begin with?

No problem. I encourage you to check the link Simon_Whale posted (Solution #2). The answer is found there.

Check the section on "Associating Events with Event Handlers"

Finally, I would like to encourage you to vote if either or both of us have answered your question. So it can be closed or rephrase your question.

Thank you! It works like I expect it to. :)

Thanks I have updated my solution.

I have looked at this code, but I am still not sure where do you want to check for MoveNext().

For more information about what MoveNext() is I suggest reading upon it. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee275535%28v=BTS.10%29.aspx

do while recordset.EOF = False
recordset.MoveNext()
loop

Try something like that. Hard to comment when you posted a block of code which you don't point to me where you think your having the problem.

As a debugging tip that I have learned log everything in the problem. More information is helpful in finding out where your problem lies. console.writeline(insertobjectToInspectHere.tostring())

I hope this helps. Don't give up! :)

Reason for my vote of 4
"Always start left curly brace { on a new line." That's my pet peeve when I see other programmers put the left curly brace on the same line.

"Names starting with underscores. They look cool, but let's not :)" Ha ha. Good one!

Good article.
