One EXE app won't launch a second EXE app

I created two different standard Windows applications with VB.NET. The
first one is supposed to launch the second one if it's not already running,
but when it tries to, the second application gets loaded into memory, but
does not perform the Form1_Load procedure. However, if the EXE file of the
second application is double-clicked directly, it launches fine. I've tried
both Shell() and Process.Start(). How can I get one application to launch
another? Thanks.
