Hmm.

Great puzzle. "Doctor I'm ill" without any detailed symptoms.

Nevertheless I've been looking for the most common sources of OutOfMemoryException:
- properties that get or set themselves recursively; I did not see any user-defined Property.
- functions that call themselves recursively; I did not see any of them (I may have missed one though).

The next suspect would be event handlers that modify something causing ever more events, possibly resulting in an avalanche. Without any description of this beast, that is hard to find.

I have some more comments though:

1.
I see a lot of new Font statements; most if not all of them only generate two different fonts, so I suggest you generate them once, keep them around in two variables, and assign them to a local variable as appropriate.

Now whenever that approach would be impossible, keep in mind that objects offering a Dispose method require that method being called when done to free up unmanaged data; and most graphic objects (including Font) fall in that category.

2.
And now for a big issue:
you are swallowing exceptions; there are lots of try/catch blocks, and yes they always store the exception message (why only the message?) but then that magic secondLevelMsg variable is never looked at??? The author of this is making life extremely hard, exceptions are there to help you in finding what is going wrong. The current code is very good at hiding what might go wrong. Also, exceptions should not be used as the normal way out. Their occurence should be, well, exceptional.

Hope this helps.
