Not me - it's still driving me crazy. Only ever happens with XP. :cry:
Well, it's a long time I have had these lock ups. This is what I did (will not assure it will work):
1) Install latest service pack
2) When debugging in multithreaded, be sure to Rebuild All every time.
If this is not working, let me know so I can stop rebuild all each time :)
1) I've currently got XP SP2 installed. I don't know if that's the latest one but it doesn't make any difference.Quote:

Well, I'd rather restart when VS hangs than rebuild all every time, this would take less time in case of my project (legacy code bload) :(
Do you have any plugins in VS installed? I had relatively good experience with first deleting the *.ncb file and disabling Visual Assist - only one lockup in about 20 debug sessions now...
Personally, I don't have any plug-ins installed but now that I think of it, you're right. It would be quicker to re-boot than keeping doing multiple rebuilds.
One other thing... how many of us are using VC++ 6.0 / VC++ 7.0 etc? I'm on VC++ 6.0
Now you are talking about it. Back then, I used Visual Assist a lot. Now, I don't have it installed anymore (trial was over), and no crashes.
But, I am not sure if I can say Visual Assist was causing the problems.
I also still use VC++ 6.0. I never before saw a need to update, and I like the IDE (the Class Wizard, for example, is apparently not part of the newer IDEs).Quote:

I am also on VC++ 6.0 SP6.
Now that I disable VA every time before I debug, I experience much fewer lockups.
Another thing to be checked is what other programs are installed and running, for example, I have NAV installed here. The firewall does not seem to be an issue, since I once used ZA and switched to Sygate but still experience the same problems. Also, I did not realize a difference from the MSVC service packs.
