Topmost property

I have a problem that on one Vista system when my program starts it does
not come to the front. Bringtofront did not fix it so I tried setting
topmost to true then using a timer setting topmost to false.

That works but then and controls in msgboxs or forms that form loads are
"locked". Strangely the close button (X) on those forms does work.

If I set the topmost to false using a control everything works as expected.

Why cant I set topmost to false in a timer event? This all goes "wrong"
under XP as well

Thanks
