I get an infrequent error "Exception from HRESULT: 0x800A81BA". I'm using ImageMan active X in a VB.NET windows service which converts TIF images to PNG's. My routine detects these errors and retries the conversion up to 10 times with .25 second pause between retries. If it fails all 10 times, then it will try converting from TIF to JPG. The TIF to JPG conversion works every time. I would use the JPG conversion, but I prefer the lossless compression of PNG and smaller file size. Does anyone know what causes this error? Thanks, Dave

Hi,

A couple of suggestions, first make sure you have the latest ActiveX release which you can download the My Products page. Also you should get a description string along with the exception, that might be more helpful in tracking down the specifics of whats happening.
