waitcursor after Splash Screen

I'm using the information found here about creating a splash screen on a
separate thread.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnnetcomp/html/casoast.asp

Everything works find, the screen comes up and goes away. I kill the splash
thread near the end of the processing done in my mainForm_load event handler.

The problem is that the waitcursor begins being displayed once the splash
screen is closed and will not go away until I bring up another dialog (like
an Open File Dialog). The form is ready to go, but the waitcursor won't go
away.

Any ideas?

You have to set cursor to Cursors.Default explicitly. I usually do it at the
end of Form.Load
 
Thanks Alex.

I've tried to set the cursor to default in several places, all to no avail.
At the end of my _load, I have a method call that brings up a Open File
Dialog so I put a "Cursor.Current = Cursors.Default;" before and after the
method call. It keeps the wait cursor up regardless. I've even put one at
the beginning of my Open method.

I'm at a total loss here.

Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
