In C# I am having a problem with the splash screen. When it is time to close and the main Form1 appears, it moves over to the upper right corner of Form1. It then disappears. I have never had this occur before and have just about run out of ideas to fix it. I want the splash screen to disappear in the center screen and not move over to the upper corner of the opening Form1. Here is the code:
public Form1()
{
Splash mySplash = new Splash();
mySplash.TotalValue = 7; //or however many steps you must complete
mySplash.Show();
mySplash.Update();
InitializeComponent();
//--<begin>--------------
this.Hide();
this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal;
mySplash.Progress++;
printDoc.PrintPage += new PrintPageEventHandler(printDoc_PrintPage);
printBOM.PrintPage += new PrintPageEventHandler(printBOM_PrintPage);
printList.PrintPage += new PrintPageEventHandler(printList_PrintPage);
mySplash.Progress++;
// using old Kodak Imaging OCX !
axImgEdit1.Image = "\\\\Netstore\\eng_share\\EView\\BOB-eView9.tif";
axImgEdit1.DisplayScaleAlgorithm = ImgeditLibCtl.DisplayScaleConstants.wiScaleOptimize;
axImgEdit1.FitTo(0);
axImgEdit1.Display();
mySplash.Progress++;

List<Win32_Printer> printerList = Win32_Printer.GetList();

prnPort = printer.PortName;
prnDriver = printer.DriverName;
if (i == 0)
{
prnNameString = prnName;
prnDriverString = prnDriver;
prnPortString = prnPort;
}
else
{
prnNameString += "," + prnName;
prnDriverString += "," + prnDriver;
prnPortString += "," + prnPort;
}
i++;
