Please read...bitmap graphics in paint() method generate an exception

[davidchardonnet]

Hello everybody,

I encounter a strange problem. I have an applet which displays graphics in the paint() method and it works very well. But in some cases, the applet returns the exception below and the graphics don't display. Can you help me?

The problem occurs with IE 5.0 5.5 6.0
(not tested with netscape yet)
