Progressbar stops working

I have a Visual Basic application that process TIF and TARGA image files,
some of which are upwards of 1.5 gig each. The processing can take about 10
hours on a fairly fast PC with 2 giabytes of memory. Like most anal
retentive developers(!) I want to keep my eye on the progress and have built
in a variety of displays to do this.

I have used multiple progressbars, and also some 'count displays'. As I pass
through the loops, I issue a number of 'xxx.refresh' statements on the
controls as they are changed. The program runs perfectly and the displays
all change UNTIL I either minimize the window, OR start another application.
At this point, while the program continues to execute and WILL run to a
succesful conclusion, NONE of the 'displays' will change any more.

Anyone got any suggestions as to how I get the displays to start updating
again after I maximize the application window????

Thanks
