Trying to add a photo to first pane, but no go

[blkhrt]

I am trying to put an image on the first content pane, but when I do it comes up the tab of all the windows and makes the program look crazy. Can not figure this one out, any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

What exactly do you mean? That sure is a lot of code for just a couple JPanels and a single image. I'd recommend throwing together an SSCCE that demonstrates exactly what you're talking about.
