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++;

        //~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Getting printer info~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        List<Win32_Printer> printerList = Win32_Printer.GetList();

        int i = 0;
        foreach (Win32_Printer printer in printerList)
        {
            prnName = printer.Name;
            prnPort = printer.PortName;
            prnDriver = printer.DriverName;

            if (i == 0)
            {
                prnNameString = prnName;
                prnDriverString = prnDriver;
                prnPortString = prnPort;
            }
            else
            {

            }
            i++;
        }

        mySplash.Progress++;
