Evan, Well I didn't set the Layout for the content pane because it was just the main JFrame and didn't think I needed to since I was adding a JDesktopPane to it and then putting the JInternalFrames inside the desktop. But I did try setting the content pane to BorderLayout and then setting the constraint to BorderLayout.CENTER when adding the image panel and nothing.
Any other ideas :) Thanks.
