combo box not showing items

Question

I'm currently running vb .net 2003 on XP sp 2. I have a simple list of items defined for the combo box but when i run my app although the box drops down it is empty. If i use my mouse to click one of the blank rows in the box the appropriate value displays in the text box above! How do i get the items to display in the drop down box. I didn't have this issue in vb 6.0. HELP!!

apparently the answer is the virus scanner and its Buffer Overflow protection. Turning this off fixed the problem for me.

I'm having the same problem but with C# using XP SP2 and SharpDeveloper. I've been using VS.NET 2003 for quite a while with C# and I haven't come across this problem before... don't have a clue what's causing it.
