space showing instead of start/title bar

I'm writing a game that uses full screens. The only time it doesn't
work is the first time a couple of the forms are displayed. In those
cases, the top of the screen (where the start bar usually is) from the
previous form/screen is displayed instead.

I'm using

this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;

to get the fullscreen to work. That was resulting in some flickering
of the title bar, which was fixed by using P/Invoke calls ShowWindow
and EnableWindow from another thread here.

Any ideas?

Are you using an updated version of the CF, or still CF 1.0 RTM? This
sounds like a bug from that era.

I don't know, how do I find out? And what is 'RTM'? I'm just using
Visual Studio 2003.
