I cannot load any existing projects after starting VS2008. When I try to open an existing VS2008 project, a crash will occur. It seems like it crashes when trying to load a floating window into VS, but I can’t tell which one.
When I run the debugger on a damaged instance, I get the following message, which is not very useful.
Unhandled exception at 0x00740078 in devenv.exe: 0xC0000005: location of entry for access violation 0x7e429ed9.
I previously installed SP1, but now uninstalled it. I also used Resharper 4.0, but also uninstalled it, and I still have a problem.
Does anyone have any tips on how to solve problems with VS2008? I really don't want to do product reinstallation.
As a job, I found that if I create a new class library project, it will fail due to an error writing to protected memory. If I try to create a new class library project, it will work, and then I can load the existing project.
