VS2005 IDE freezes

I'm having an issue with VS2005 where when I try and save or when it tries to Save AutoRecovery information, the IDE completely freezes. I only just started having this problem, so I really don't know what the problem could be. Are there any suggestions / fixes for this issue With some searching through the forums, I have found other people that have similar problems, but no solution in sight!

Any/all help would be greatly appreciated.

    No... But I have since reinstalled my development machine, and haven't noticed any problems since doing so... Unfortunately, that means I am completely clueless as to what might've been causing this problem. :(

    Is it possible some of your source files are saved on a network share

    I'm actually using remote desktop to remote into the development environment, so no... the files are all local to the development machine, and it's on a local network, so there's not latency issues either.

    I've seen it happen when I'm working with C# Classes, C# Web files. I've seen it less often in vb.net classes, but that could be because I work with them less.

    I don't get the same problem you've described. There are lots of times where the VS 2005 IDE seems to "freeze" or become unresponsive. I've never seen it become unresponsive for more than 30 seconds. Are you seeing it unresponsive for more than 30 seconds What sort of file are you saving, is it over the web by chance (e.g. ftp)

  • NytewolfAU2k7

    Yeah I get exactly the same thing. What i've noticed is when I build (or rebuild), the IDE becomes unresponsive for approx 10-15 secs. I'm not sure if it's due to to the number of projects in the solution (I have 12 atm), as it seems to refresh the solution explorer and then, becomes responsive again.

    It's def not the machine i'm using either as it a P4 3Ghz HT with 2Gb Ram, and the devenv.exe process only ever hits about 20%.

    Did you manage to find out what was causing your problems

    Is this not something that other people are experiencing I'm still having this problem and am getting quite frustrated.
