Hello Iamasat, I don't have Winrar so unable to open your code. I think I got your problem. The problem is not with the picture box but with the image. You are opening the image file which takes a lock on the file itself. As long as the image is around the file will be locked. Since you assign the image to the picture box the box will maintain a reference to the image preventing it from being released. Instead of opening the file and using it directly I'd recommend that you either stream the image in or create a copy of it once it is loaded. Work around Refer link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/309482 To work around this problem, use the FileStream object as follows: Dim fs As System.IO.FileStream ' Specify a valid picture file path on your computer. fs = New System.IO.FileStream("C:\WINNT\Web\Wallpaper\Fly Away.jpg", IO.FileMode.Open, IO.FileAccess.Read) PictureBox1.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(fs) fs.Close() Hope it will help you.
