GDI Objects and Forms

Question

Every time I create a new form from the main form, the Windows Task Manager shows I've created 4 new GDI Objects. When I close the form I only loose 2. So each time I create a form and close it I gain another 2 GDI Object and my memory usage goes up. HELP!

OK I found a Microsoft KB article ID 319740 As a workaround my windows XP now has a windows classic look. Now when I open a second form from the first I get 2 GDI object created. But they are not diposed of when I close the form. So I get 2 extra GDI Objects each time I open and close the form.
