help finishing memory game

[gaylo565]

I have been working on this memory game for a while now in my spare time and it is working until I have to run the new game method. I think my problem might be that I am declaring the button array within the new game method and that is throwing of my index numbers after the first game. Its kind of a lot of code to go through but if anyone has some spare time id appreciate the help. Also Is there a way to keep the pic on the button in color while it is not enabled?Heres the code...sorry its still a bit sloppy but it compiles.(I did it in VS 2003).

I took out the region of declaration of the objects cause it pretty self explanatory and kind of long...I probably should declare the buttons with the button array but I already had added them to the form. Looking back it would be nice to make it into a variable # of buttons grid in order to make the game harder or easier. I also didn't add any code to add high scores to the high score and user txt files cause i was still testing it and didn't really need it to work.

What's the error message?

[gaylo565]

no error messages...it compiles fine. The problem is when I run the new game method and start the new game the check match method doesn't work right. Instead of taking a guess away for a wrong selection it adds twice the points of a right selection and leaves the pictures visible.
