You can't open forms onto new threads. They must reside on the UI thread otherwise all sorts of things break. I assume that you have processing that must occur on a different thread - the trick here is to bind your View to a ViewModel, and have that ViewModel perform the processing on a background thread, invoking the results back to the View (which resides on the UI thread).
