I think, you try to draw the same Splash Screen image but with Progress Bar on top after application has been launched. Probably, your hard loading work performed on UI thread, so it freeze Progress Bar also. Try to move all work to background thread and if you have complex layouts (in ListBox, for example), try to add items with some delay to give UI thread time to update anything else.

The splashcreen is shown whilst the phone unpacks the .XAP file, loads the assemblies, starts the Silverlight runtime and renders your first page. Until this happens, you application is not executing, so you cannot display a progress bar or perform any other tasks. Hence the delay.

The only think you can do is work to reduce the XAP size and make your initial UI as simple as possible so that the first page renders quickly.
