C#

if (RunsCollision.isrunnew == true)
           { i = 0;
           do
           {

               i += 0.1f;
               Game1.spriteBatch.Begin();
               Game1.spriteBatch.DrawString(Game1.scorefont, runstoshow, new Vector2(200, 200), color);
               Game1.spriteBatch.End();
           } while (i < 100);
           }
           RunsCollision.isrunnew = false;

What changes have you made? Have you tried debugging your code to see what line of code removes your sprite string?

I know this is very late, but in case anyone reads this, or if you haven't figured it out yet; you should not be handling the timer in your draw routine. You're basically trying to sleep the thread here with your while loop. What would be more appropriate is using the Update() method which gives you access to the gameTime and check for gameTime.ellapsedGameTime.totalmilliseconds. In the Update() method you will also be checking collisions, if you need to start timing something like this SpriteFont after a collision, you should have a bool that draw routine has access to that you will mark true/false from within the Update() method when you want the SpriteFont to be drawn.
