Default instances strike again. In the case of Form2 and Form3 you are displaying the default instance, yet with Form1 you are explicitly creating an instance, but then you're trying to display text on the default instance. You need to be consistent: either use default instances all the time or not at all; don't mix and match.

Follow the Blog link in my signature and you'll find a post all about default instances. You should read it.
