Control application with hidden form, trouble with popup forms

I have a control application with a main form used for testing that I plan on hiding during normal runtime. This app will control a number of things and basically host a screen saver. For a number of reasons I cannot use the built-in screen saver functionality. (wish I could, had that all working)

My issue is that when I create the blank forms to hide the monitors (supporting multiple screens), the forms get created and I can see them for a bit, then it seems the timer on my main form causes something to happen that causes these other forms to exit. I don't want modal functionality, but I do need these forms to stay "on top" until the controller decides to close them.

I tried marking them as TopMost but that didn't seem to have any effect. When the timer pops, I still loose these forms.

Right now, I am just using the following code to create/display them.

ScreenSaverss =newScreenSaver(screen.Bounds);
