Can someone please help?

[ktluu78]

I need some help urgently. I am currently using CVF version 6.1.0 with windows xp. It was working fine before. Now, it is playing up on me. In developer studio, if I go File--> Open or Project--> Add to Project--> Files, i get the error dialouge " Microsoft Developer Studio has encountered a problem and needs to close ......." and if I click on the Debug button, it gives " Unhandled exception in DFDEV.EXE(DEVSHL.DLL):0xc0000005: Access violation.

Having played with it (which included googling it), It's supposed to be a known issue with Microsoft visual studio but none of the solutions I've tried have fixed the problem ( I have tried uninstalled-reinstalled it, Installed service packs downloaded from Microsoft website (by the way, I could nt install the service packs)...

I am not an expert in CVF or VC and I am desperate for some help. So can someone please help?

Many thanks

Try

Start | Visual Studio | Open Project | YourProjectNameHere

Then launch a 2nd instance of VS

Start | Visual Studio | Create Project | fixYourProjectNameHere

(notice different name)

And then finish creating the new project/solution using same settings as old project/solution. Then go about adding the new project to the new solution.

Once you have a working solution you can decide on renaming the solution.

As a first resort, delete the YourSolutionName.suo file from the project directory.

For CVF, that would be the .opt file.
