Images not Drawn Properly

Question

I am simply trying to draw an image over a JPanel and it will not appear until the JFrame has been minimised or hidden behind something. Ive tried all kinds of repainting. Ive seen this topic before, but none seems to have a clear answer. HEPL! please

Answer 1

"C:/JCreatorLE/MyProjects/Cards/images/CA.jpg"
What the &%*$? is it doing way over there?, put it in the same folder   Container c    = getContentPane();
   JPanel panel = new JPanel(){
      public void paintComponent(Graphics g)     {
        ImageIcon img = new ImageIcon("CA.jpg");
        g.drawImage(img.getImage(), 0, 0, null);
        super.paintComponent(g);
   panel.setOpaque(false);
   c.add(panel);
