vs2005 express hangs

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi,

I seem to have introduced a probem into my application wich cuases the IDE
to hang
when I switch from debug to reease mode. it doesnt even consume any cpu %,
just sits there, with the debug/release drop down menu stil half visible,
and not even the close buton or taskbar menu works -
has to be clsoed from taskmanager.

It seemed to start after I did 2 things,
I added a file from a referenced library
just some enums as it was internal,
and also added some [Conditional("DEBUG")]
statements around some debug functions,
it hung as soon a I tried to change to release mode.

I undid the changes and it was ok,
so I put them back again and it was ok too,
so i dont know if this even had anything to do with it.
but now it hangs about 1 time in 10.
(just when I switch to relase mode)

Ive tried rebuilding all etc.

its just midly iritating, but ive found before
on a new project the IDE is much faster,
so is there a good way to do a clean,
short of starting a new project and copying all the files accross

thanks
Colin =^.^=
