    Every time I open it, the second time I do a build ( and on until I restart ) it says I don't have enough space to complete the operation. Nothing I've tried will fix this, not SP1, not registry and other hacks, it's just a mess. What a piece of crap.

      Couple things: -See if this is a compiler problem, not an IDE problem. -Is the target executable really large in size? E.g. do you have lots of embedded resources or anything like that? We've seen a similar problem when we had some 50MB of embedded resources.

          I assume it's a compiler issue, in my mind it's all the one thing, in that it's all part of the one product that doesn't work. Our exe is about 30 MB, I believe, and yes, it does have a fair number of resources. Thanks, that's a solid lead ( not sure how we change it tho )

            Yeah, that sounds like the problem we hit. Our workaround: remove some of the embedded resources into external files. Looks like others have this this issue: MS Connect, "not enough storage is available to complete this operation"[^]

                Yeah, I am guessing I will need to create a resource dll.

                  Little comfort though it is, we get this frequently with VS2005 all the time. Restarting VS seems to be the only work around. I was kinda hoping that 208 would fix this :(

                    I've seen random crash with VS2008 as well. Try deleting your .suo, .ncb. I tend to close the Call Browser too.

                      Are you using it on Mac with VMware ? Might be, that is causing the problem. Try using Windows OS ;P . still i have to agree that vs2008 is like a beta product. many times I got problem like, not able to attache debugger to the exe... whats that means ? After restart it fixes for random duration of time.
