Error while opening a second window from first window the second time in Windows XP

I have two windows: Window1 is more like Splash Screen with an ComboBox to choose the excel file. Window2 has various textboxes, datagrids, tabs which will load the data corresponding to that file.

Now I have a Button called "Go" in Window1 which has the following code:

switch (ComboBoxAreaList.Text)
            {
                case "Area1":
                    Properties.Settings.Default.FileLocation = "C:\\ProgramName\\Area1.xlsx";
                    break;
                case "Area2":
                    Properties.Settings.Default.FileLocation = "C:\\ProgramName\\Area2.xlsx";
                    break;
                case "Area3":
                    Properties.Settings.Default.FileLocation = "C:\\ProgramName\\Area3.xlsx";
                    break;
                default: MessageBox.Show("Error!");
                    break;
            }

            MainWindow AreaDataWindow = new MainWindow();
            AreaDataWindow.Show();
            Close();

I have a Button called "ChangeAreaData" in Window2 which has the following code:

SplashScreen NewSplashScreen = new SplashScreen();
            NewSplashScreen.Show();
            Close();

Initially, Window1 will show up and user clicks the Go button, the Window2 will load without any issues. Then I go back to Window1 using ChangeArea button and change the data by choosing an item in ComboBox. Then load Window2 again by clicking Go button, I will get the following error in Windows XP:

AppName: area logs status.exe    AppVer: 1.0.0.0     ModName: kernel32.dll
ModVer: 5.1.2600.7475    Offset: 00034f03

So just the second time, it's throwing that error. It's working fine in Windows 10 and 8. But not in Windows XP. Any help much appreciated.

Thanks to @mm8 for pointing me out the solution. I just need to choose .png instead of .ico for Icon Property in XAML, as mentioned here
