Items in Combo Box list are not visible

I am using Visual Basic .Net with Windows XP Professional. I have added a
Combo Box to my form and changed the drop-down style to DropDownList. I have
added items by typing them into the items property:

"Item1"
"Item2"
"Item3"
"Item4"
"Item5"
"Item6"

When I run the code, the items are not visible in the drop-down list -- even
though I have verified that the item count is correct when running the code.

If I click on the empty space in the drop-down list where an item should be,
it appears in the Combo Box. For instance, if I click where Item 1 should be
then Item 1 appears in the Combo Box. Why are the items in the list not
visible?

That is a known bug in the McAfee antivirus program. Try the patch here:

Niklas,

It took a while to get the patch through my MIS department, but it has
worked like a charm.

Thank you very much,
Tim
