IDE problems

[flamey]

im wondering if anyone experienced this or if its a known issues:

Visual Studio 6.0, just updated to SP6

(1) my F7 doesn't work. i hit it ans nothing happens.

(2) sometimes when i build, it would get stuck on "Linking..." and i can't Stop Build or even shutdown IDE. (it would happen rearely, i didn't get this one after SP6 upgrade, yet)

i have always had SP6 and it still happens to me on very rare occasions on very simple code. no surprise though, it has been 8 years only since release of VS 6, so M$ did not have enough time to fix it.

Its time to update Try VS .Net latest version, its alot better then 6.0 in many ways.

You have to remember that not only is there a helluva lot of VC++ 6 code out there that won't or can't be upgraded; there's also still some VC++ 1.5 16-bit code out there that won't or can't be upgraded! I was maintaining the latter just two years ago.

I agree with your point, but if I were at this position, the question that I would ask from myself is that how long will I fight for this? With time, it will create more mess that I can handle, if I can update something, I will surely go for that, offcourse if there are some constraints due to which I can't, then I'll have to live with it
