I don't see any Timer_Tick event handler in your code. Please, post the code for the timer so we can try to find the source of the problem.

You have to start the application with the SplashScreen. To do this, open your Program.cs file and find the following line:

Application.Run(new Form1());


Change Form1 to the name of the splash screen. Then, on the splash screen form, add a Timer control, set its interval for 3000 and enable it. For the Timer_Tick event, add this code:

this.Close();

well would that close the app cuz that sets the splash as the main form right??
and wen you close the mail form the app shuts down
UPDATE; just as i set my app shutdown ha

You could use this instead of Close:

this.Hide();


This will actually make the form invisible and will keep it in the memory, but it could be an alternative solution.
