The problem is that you're just randomly grabbing chunks of data > 1000 bytes in length, throwing it into an image, and hoping that everything lines up correctly.

I would recommend reading 8 bytes first, and look for the 0x01,0x00,0x00,x00 header in the first 4. If that's there, read the length from the next 4 bytes. Then, read in that number of bytes from your networkstream, and pass it into Image.FromStream(). Repeat.
