After testing the MouseMove...it seems you need a flag to show that the form is being displayed or you will get dozens of forms because of the reated mousemove events that fire when putting your mouse over the icon.....the following code tested sat

Public Class Form1

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

Me.NotifyIcon1.Icon = Me.Icon

Me.NotifyIcon1.Visible = True

Me.NotifyIcon1.BalloonTipText = "TEST"

Me.NotifyIcon1.BalloonTipTitle = "Title"

Me.NotifyIcon1.Text = "T"

End Sub

Private Sub NotifyIcon1_BalloonTipShown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles NotifyIcon1.BalloonTipShown

If Not showingform Then

Dim f As SplashScreen

f = New SplashScreen

showingform = True

f.ShowDialog()
End If

End Sub

Private Sub NotifyIcon1_MouseMove(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles NotifyIcon1.MouseMove

Me.NotifyIcon1.ShowBalloonTip(1000)
End Sub
End CLass

Public Class SplashScreen

Private Sub SplashScreen_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing

showingform = False

End Sub
End Class

Module Module1

Public showingform As Boolean = False
End Module

There are other ways of passing the variable or setting up the flag but this works...

Try handling the MouseMove event on NotifyIcon. Show your form when that event occurs.
