Perhaps an error in instantiating your form?
I'm thinking you might have simply declared a new form without setting it to reference your form, thus displaying a blank form and leaving yours sitting on the shelf.

.....Hope I got that right ;)

Post some code and I may be able to help. I think that might of been my code you downloaded.

VB Code:

Public Class Form1
        Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
 
 
#Region " Windows Form Designer generated code "
 
        Dim frmTemp As Form2 'Make a reference to the splash here.
 
        Public Sub New()
            MyBase.New()
 
            'This call is required by the Windows Form Designer.
            InitializeComponent()
 
            frmTemp = New Form2   'Create an instance of the splash
 
            Timer1.Interval = 4000 'Set how long you want it to show for.
            Timer1.Start() 'Start the timer.
            frmTemp.ShowDialog() 'Show the form modally.
 
            'Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call
 
        End Sub
 
        'Form overrides dispose to clean up the component list.
        Protected Overloads Overrides Sub Dispose(ByVal disposing As Boolean)
            If disposing Then
                If Not (components Is Nothing) Then
                    components.Dispose()
                End If
            End If
            MyBase.Dispose(disposing)
        End Sub
 
        'Required by the Windows Form Designer
        Private components As System.ComponentModel.IContainer
 
        'NOTE: The following procedure is required by the Windows Form Designer
        'It can be modified using the Windows Form Designer.  
        'Do not modify it using the code editor.
        Friend WithEvents Timer1 As System.Windows.Forms.Timer
        <System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThrough()> Private Sub InitializeComponent()
            Me.components = New System.ComponentModel.Container
            Me.Timer1 = New System.Windows.Forms.Timer(Me.components)
 
            '
            'Timer1
            '
            '
            'Form1
            '
            Me.AutoScaleBaseSize = New System.Drawing.Size(5, 13)
            Me.ClientSize = New System.Drawing.Size(292, 266)
            Me.Name = "Form1"
            Me.Text = "Top Video Games"
 
 
 
        End Sub
 
#End Region
 
        Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
            Timer1.Stop()
            frmTemp.Hide()
            frmTemp.Dispose()
        End Sub
    End Class
 
End Class
