It has worked much better since I switched over to Windows 7. Even with 64-bit Windows 7 it runs much better.

My problem before may have been more Vista than VS.NET 2008.

Agreed. VS2008 is a buggy piece of shit, especially on Vista64. I’m going back VS2005.

You are spot on ! it *IS* a piece of shit. They have so many bugs that crash Visual Studio if you are using MFC. It seems that once you start compiling and debugging, you are then FROZEN from adding any further new classes via their piece of shit class wizard.

Another thing that I can’t stand is the HTML dialog boxes. Why can’t they give you an option to use CDialog instead.

I had to go back to the one that *REALLY* works, VS 6.0 MFC.
