yeah I figured it was an XP Manifest issue. I cant really hide the image. I just made the form height change so it showed a panel at the bottom if required.....its a bit icky, but it will do :-)

You must be running with a manifest. This is expected behaviour if you are running with an XP Manifest. Panels are transparent.
 
Check out the ParentBackground property [set it to False] (although I think there is a bug in this property pre D2005). You may also consider hiding the Image as a better option. 
 
ParentBackground property is also the answer to the original question.
 
cheers,
