VS 2003 on Vista
-
If you've got a half-decent PC a viable solution I've found would be to use a VM to do the development work inside of. However I've yet to get VMWare running properly on Vista x64 Ultimate, it keeps freezing, but it seems to be a known problem (and have solutions) because of my processor, and AMD Althon 64 X2 3800+. However I was using XP inside a VM running on XP as a host and doing development work in VS2008 beta and also doing some work using Fedora & various Linux distros inside VMs very successfully.

Not using it myself, but I did find this page some time back while doing some investigation of my own. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/bb188244.aspx[^]

Hi Phil, I use it all the time and have no major issues, just a few little annoyances but I am only doing C++ and VB.NET code at the moment. Issue 1: Always run dev studio as administrator (i.e. elevated) Issue 2: Forget using 'Find in Files' as it just crashes, download a grep tool or use Windows search instead. that's pretty much it, used it for around 10 months now, there are almost certainly other issues but these are the two that come to mind. regards,

not using it, but FWIW, MS states that it isn't, and will not be, supported on Vista.

No he asked "Anyone here using VS 2003 on Vista" and not "Anyone here not using VS 2003 on Vista", which are 2 different questions.
If you're struggling developing software, then I'd recommend gardening.
Yes, I'm not? He doesn't get much better does he? Different sig but same old b*****s posts
