Hello, I have a timer on my main form with the interval set to 10 seconds.

I start the timer upon the form load. The first tick event fires, then no other one ever fires. If i minimize my for and maximize it again, the timer event fires.  I have set a breakpoint in the tick event to verify this.  

What i am trying to do is pop up a message to the user of the application to remind them that they have not responded to a a message in their "inbox" let's say. The message in the "inbox" has an exiration time of 15 minutes (or variable amount of time) and an action is required by the time it expires.

Any ideas on how to acomplish this?

 i don't have a sample application as of yet as the application relies on a database to run.

I am using VWG 6.4, IE 8 as the browser.

I added the timer to the form with the designer.
