Notice that a splash screen is the least important part of an
application (the aboutbox is still less important).

\\\splash screen form2
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Label1.Text = "Hi I Am Here"
timer1.Enabled = True
timer1.Interval = 25
Me.Opacity = 0
Me.Text = "Splash"
End Sub
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles timer1.Tick
Me.Opacity += 0.01
If Me.Opacity = 1 Then
Me.Close()
End If
End Sub
////
\\\form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender _
As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
Handles MyBase.Load
Dim frm As New Form2
frm.ShowDialog()
frm.Dispose()
End Sub

Why not write "Harfreed" ("a" pronounced like the "a" in "a toy") in future?
Would enable people to know how your name sounds really.
