Roy - Reading up on the comments on JP's blog, it looks
like it may be a plug-in (SVN)? given he has VS 2005 and
other stuff on the machine.
You cannot exactly blame Microsoft if a plug-in causes
the application to behave badly or crash; although it
would be better if (like Vista does), VS 2008 could
report - "I crashed because of this badly behaving
plugin".
David, when I read it there were no comments on that
post, and JP specifically said that this was a *clean*
install, the first time he opened it on a clean machine.
Just let me know when you manage to release a bug free
software..
I have installed VS2008 on 3 developer machines and it
works
Roy, everyone: I'm inclined to believe it's an add-on. I
had another add-on which crashed VS2008 repeatedly.
According to the add-on programmer, they changed the
ways menus work in VS2008, so that it broke a lot of
add-ons.
Hi Roy,
I think that some plugin settings may be migrated.
Plugins like R# and td.net don't crash VS but do need
reinstalling to work correctly. Other plugins however
may be causing vs to crash. Some reports that visualsvn
have caused this but folks mileage may vary. My advice
is if you run into this is to reinstall all plugins.

vs2008 rtm has a really bad bug - try this
if you have a mouse wheel:
set the scrolling to 1 whole page in the windows mouse
settings. open up VS 2008 - open a file (ie. *.ascx or
*.ascx.cs) scroll down with the mouse wheel: visual
studio 2008 orcas crashes
that happened on two of our workstations (one 32bit; one
64bit windows vista)
if you set the mouse wheel action to scroll X lines at a
time it doesn't crash.
Toebens - I had the same issue here on two machines with
Vista and VS2008 RTM.
Resetting to "X" lines per screen worked.
Same problem here - crashing on mouse wheel movement. I
refuse to switch from "one page at a time" to "xxx
lines" because of my daily needs, so I uninstalled
Visual Web Developer 2008. WTH???
I have the identical problem w/ VS 2008 RTM on XP SP2.
Have the mouse wheel set to scroll one page at a time.
Whenever I try to use it on a designer or code-behind
page, VS crashes. Changing to "x" lines per screen fixed
it.
