F5 doesn't always start application

[gknierim]

I have a weird problem and no one seems to know of any fixes or what is causing this. When I go to debug my vb.net windows application by pressing F5, it doesn't always display my startup form. The application IS running however, my startup form never gets displayed. I have minimized everything on my desktop to make sure that it wasn't hidden behind something. I have even checked my task manager to make sure it is running and it is in the processes list.

So...anyone else having this problem? Know how to fix it?

Please let me know!!

Configuration:
.NET Framework SP2
WinXP Pro SP1
VS.NET Professional Edition

Thanks,
Greg

I hope to give you some comfort in telling you that you are not alone. :)

Me and my friends using .NET experience the same problem. It's not only F5 for me though, it sometimes appears when starting from menu or toolbar as well.

I have not seen anything about a fix, but hopefully it will come.

Cool and not cool. Yes, by F5 I just meant anytime or anyhow you start the project with debugging. Seems to always work without debugging. I have tried reinstalling and everything and nothing seems to work. I am getting a new laptop this week and will have to put vs.net on it and so I will see if I have the same problem with a clean install.

Thanks for the insight. Anyone else with this problem???

Yup, i get the same problem from time to time.

Hopefully MS will get it fixed in one of it's service pak updates.
