VB2006 freezes/unresponsive repeatedly

[AWW]

XP - VB 2005 trying to develop SQL (MS 2005 server express) data based
programs.
The IDE freezes/unresponsive sometimes repeatedly and mostly at
variable time intervals and I mostly restart the computer.
Anything can "trigger" it - Debug - save files - build.
Checked performance - at least 50% and one time at 100%.
Very strange? or not?
Have I screwed something up or is it time to delete and reinstall?
Any suggestions to try? Thanks.

1. What is your system configuration.
2. Did this issue crop up all of a sudden or has it been there from day one.
3. Have you tried to use FileMon from sysinternals to see any patterns
during the crash. If so report it here.

Regards,

Trevor Benedict

I think an uninstall/reinstall is in order. After the uninstall, remove the
Microsoft Visual Studio 8.0 folders, reboot and run a registry cleaner over
your system before reinstalling.

What is the size of the page file the O/S is using? If the page file is
set to not allow the O/S to control the size of the page file
automatically as needed, the page file size is fixed and too low, I have
seen VS on computers have the problems you are having with VS and the IDE.

The page size is under O/S control.
But I discovered that the disk had become VERY fragmented so I
defraged and (for now) - no freezes.
Seem like the problem to anyone? Thanks.
