Re: VS2008 not working in XP 64

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

Hello eschneider,

This symptom looks very strange. I tried to reproduce it on a machine with
Windows XP x64 and VS2008 installed. However, everything was fine on this
machine.

I'd like to provide the following troubleshooting tips for this issue:
1.You can first try resetting the Visual Studio setting, check out How to
reset your environment
settings(http://blogs.msdn.com/saraford/archive/2008/06/03/did-you-know-how-
to-reset-your-environment-settings-via-tools-import-export-settings-229.aspx
).
2.If you reboot the operating system to safe mode, do we have the problem?
This can help to isolate whether any other applications are interfering
with Visual Studio. In addition to safe mode, you can also try "clean boot
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310353)".
3.If you create a new user account, do we have the problem? This can help
to isolate user profile corruption related causes.
4.If you disable Add-ns (e.g. "Tools" | "Add-in Manager") and run
"devenv.exe /safemode", do we still have the problem? This can eliminate
the possibility that third party Add-ins are causing problems.
5.If you create a new project, do we have the problem? Sometimes corrupted
project settings can cause problems. These are project specific.

Please let me know result of this suggestions, I look forward to your reply.

Best regards,
Feng Chen
