    Hello, I need some serious help... for some reason, rather recently, any application I try to develop on my home PC will not launch. It doesn't launch out of debug mode (debug mode starts and ends almost instantly), it doesn't launch if I try to run the compiled .exe from Explorer, and worse yet, an application that I develop at work (where I don't have this problem) will no longer launch if I compile it on my home PC! Even if I make a new application from scratch, just a blank form with no controls, that won't launch. I even tried Console.WriteLine("Some message") in the Form1 Load event and in the Application's Startup event and nothing gets written to the Output window. No error ever gets reported either. I've already tried uninstalling VB.Net and reinstalling it, and that didn't help either. I've looked all over MSDN[^] and Google, and no one else seems to have this problem. I don't know what else to do!

      What if you put some breakpoints in your application, and then run from visual studio ? If they never get hit, then I'd be uninstalling and reinstalling the .NET framework.

        Well, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the framework, as well as VB.Net. I even tried a system restore. Nothing has changed. Now what? EDIT: Hmm, now breakpoints in both the Form1 Load event and the Application's startup event are working, as is (apparently) any code I put in there. But beyond those two subs, nothing happens, and the form never appears on the screen. What the heck.
