Guys, I need help in the worst way here! I’ll try and give a ‘condensed’ version here so if you need any more info, by all means let me know. I have three servers all running 2003 advanced. One of the servers I have SQL Server 2000, the other two servers are running SQL Server 2005.I went on vacation and when I got back our glorious Network Team ran all kinds of updates, patches, etc with no regard for my three little servers. Bottom line is now the two servers running SQL Server 2005 are fried, but the SQL Server 2000 is fine, no problems. Here’s where it gets confusing. On one of the servers with 2005 I have built a website with a program called Ironspeed. It produces asp.net pages and those pages are hitting tables of the SQL Server 2005 DB. They all work just fine, can hit the tables, query, no noticeable problems at all. But when I open SQL Server 2005 (on both machines mind you) I can’t get to the Object Explorer. When I try, I get the following error: The type initializer for Gdip threw an exception. It gets better. Now Ironspeed won’t open and I believe even Dreamweaver was screwed up.I did all kinds of research, hit a few forums etc. I even downloaded a .dll file from Microsoft (I’ll include the link) but it was just a gdiplus_dnld.exeThat unzipped a gdiplus.dll or something to that effect and I was very wary of where to copy it to so I didn’t even bother. I will attach a screenshot of the error in this post. Let me end all this with one more little complication. I just uninstalled and reinstalled Ironspeed. I got an error just trying to start it and it gave me the option to debug. Here’s the gist of that error: An Unhandled exception of type 'System.TypeInitializationException' occured in system.drawing.dllAdditional information: The type initializer for "System.Drawing.SafeNativeMethods" threw an exceptionAny ideas at all how to straighten out this mess? ![]() |

| It seems like your GDI+ library is corrupt. You need to reinstall your SQL Server 2005 to remedy this problem.Harsh AthalyeIndia."The IMPOSSIBLE is often UNTRIED" |
