Does this happen to anyone else? It is the most frustrating thing about using visual studio 2005.

I have SP1 installed, and 2gb of FBDIMM RAM. Our program is about 40mb (compiled) and contains about 20 projects.

I constantly get kernel32 errors caused by devenv (the don't send box keeps reappearing and I have to ctrl alt del to force quit it).

There are also out of memory exceptions happening regularly when I work on big forms.

Have there been some secret patches released that deal with any of these issues? How do you cope with them?

Thanks

It seems to be something with your configuration. Most times I have seen this, it is the direct or indirect result of some "Add-In".

I regularly have manchines (working on large parojects) where VS-2005 is not exited for many days (well over a week) without issue.

The only add-in I have is 'WSE Settings 3.0' (Web Services Enhancements).

OK....

Have you been tracking the "crashes"?? Do they share something in common? Have you been clicking on "yes" for send reports to MSFT????

TBH, I normally force devenv to exit when it starts crashing.. since it appears 30 times or more. It usually shows a 'FileNotFound' exception in one of the solution dlls or the 'OutOfMemory Unable to resolve manifest files' exception.

I have pressed the send button before and followed the process through.. I click the 'get information to prevent this error in the future' button and am told to download SP1 (which I already have).

Thanks kindly for your time.
