************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

I am new in .net so please explain clearly what should I do Thanks.

    Are you trying to instantiate a font which isn’t installed on the XP machine? Perhaps one that is installed by default with Windows 7 but not XP?
