Visual Studio keeps crashing

You can always try some standard Visual Studio troubleshooting steps:

  • Clean the solution
  • Delete / rename all files in your solution created by VS, i.e. all .ncb, .suo, .user files
  • Launch Visual Studio with all add-ins disabled: devenv.exe /SafeMode
  • Reset All Settings: Tools -> Import / Export Settings -> Reset All Settings
  • Delete HKCU:\Software\Micosoft\VisualStudio\9.0 and then restart Visual Studio
  • Repair the Visual Studio installation through Add/Remove Programs

You might also check whether there is a hotfix available addressing your issue (e.g. KB960075 sounds like a good candidate for you), or whether you find your problem already reported on the Connect website.
