a generic error occurred in gdi+

I'm receiving "a generic error occurred in gdi+" processing error while running a preview of my report inside visual studio. When this report is opened by a client, their browser will just hang (Not Responding).

Other reports don't have error. The report will not render any chart although thousands of record will be need to output.

Hope anyone can help. Thanks!

Is there any solution to this problem?

Other threads suggest that this type of error may be due to security permissions.

|||Might be an issue with an older version of GDI+. Maybe try this one: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=6a63ab9c-df12-4d41-933c-be590feaa05a&DisplayLang=en.|||

Brian,

Thanks for your response.

In the redist.txt it tells you that you cannot update the gdiplus.dll in Windows XP because it is a protected file; however, we replaced it and after a reboot, it fixed the problem.

If anyone has trouble replacing the gdiplus.dll in the "windows\system32" directory, it may be a good idea to reboot in safe mode, replace the gdiplus.dll and then reboot into Windows normally.
