Visual Studio .NET 2003 hangs on startup
-
This happens even if I tell Visual Studio not to open a solution on startup. If I do have it open the most recent solution, that solution completely loads first. If I tell it to open and show the Open Solution dialog, it does that. If it is supposed to open the Start Page, that opens. Regardless, the startup action finishes and then it locks up. Now technically, it might not have locked up. All I know is that the hourglass cursor never disappears. So I go to the taskbar, and force Windows to close the program. I see no warning other than what Windows provides. That leads me to believe Visual Studio is unaware of what is happening. Next time I start Visual Studio, it runs fine -- but only for that session. Does anyone have any ideas? -------------- Will Pittenger

Have you tried reinstalling it?

Not yet. I am trying to avoid doing so. I customize the IDE heavily. I may do that. It might solve another problem where the stack overflows when I set the Location of a child I wrote from the control's parent. No, there is no code of mine overriding that property. There is no code subsribing to the control LocationChanged event. -------------- Will Pittenger

Hi Will L Pittenger, sometimes it helps to start the IDE from command line with the argument /setup. This will reinitialize all plugins and the windows location, but no other stuff like keymapping. Good Luck! Niedzi

What was that supposed to do? It popped up a window briefly and then vanished. When I start normally, the problem is still there. -------------- Will Pittenger

What it did was reset my toolbar layout without fixing anything. That toolbar layout took hours to do. I doubt that I will be able to redo it exactly. Thanks a lot.:mad: -------------- Will Pittenger
