            int iXSize = 240;
            int iYSize = 240;
            int iX = (iXScreen / 2) - (iXSize / 2);
            int iY = (iYScreen / 2) - (iYSize / 2);
            Pen P = new Pen(Color.White, 1);
            Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(iX, iY, iXSize, iYSize);
            g.DrawRectangle(P, rect);
            g.Dispose();

            this.Hide();
            tmrRefresh.Enabled = true;
        }
    }
