Why Does IntelliSense Sometimes Go Away?

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I use Intellisense frequently in VC++ 6.0 to auto-complete member variable
names. Being lazy, I type "this->" and find my variable. Or type the open
paren after a function name to get the prototype. But sometimes it just
doesn't work. I know that with a syntax error in a line above, it does not
work. But somtimes in one part of my class it works fine and in others it
doesn't.

What could make it be there or not be there and can it be fixed for an area
when it is not there?

Thanks
