problem with new software

I recently bought 2005 Visual Studio Academic version...I installed and all seems smooth...however I click on for new project

CLR console application give it a name and then the

software closes...when I reopen there is a saved folder of the name of this project but I cannot open ant .h or cpp file

I uninstalled and put back on...is this a bum copy

I have 2003 with no problems

  • Amir Steta

    I find this wierd. Have you tried to repair Visual Studio

  • TechedRonan

    WEll I tried to repair and first use it showed a .h and .cpp but would not open...now today same as before...

    I have a partitioned hard drive where the c is down to 15% free space and I recall

    that I had to change something with the fat 32 file system for some program...could thesehave anything to do with it or bum software

    Thanks

    Looking at some notes I believe I changed Fat32 to NFTS
  • DiegoSierra

    I solved problem....it was that I had Norton antivirus on....even as I installed I had it shut down...and even when it ran I had it off....However after I uninstalled the Norton software....Visual studio works correctly....I have also found with the Norton updates Outlook no longer worked....obviously I am not happy with their product...

    Thanks for listening
