Timer Troubles

I have an vs2008win c# application that uses the timer control to re-query a database while in a minimized state. I use it to blink the minimized application to info users that intervention is required.

I have found that it works fine as long as the application does not shift on the taskbar. If an application to the left of it on the taskbar is closed in stops blinking after it shifts left.

Is there any way to keep this from happening?


Any help is greatly appreciated.
