I am having a big problem with my MDI child form, whenever it gets
loaded up all my labels on the main form, and graphics disappear.  Now
as far as i can tell this is because they are non-window components, but
it doesn't make sense as to why all my labels, and graphics disappear.
can anyone help me with this issue?

thanks,

Ryan

After you have opened the application , run system's "resource meter".

My guess is that you are low on GDI resources.
You probabbly use too much memory or have a misconfigured or small system.
This is common ...
