Hi,
the last days i faced a strange behaviour of my VS2010: sometimes when debugging and invoking a dialog the complete PC was freezing, no mouse move and no keyboard response (and sometimes a BSOD but no memdump) – I had to reboot. I did stresstests, memorytests and so on as I thought about a hardware problem. As this freeze only happened when debugging inside VS2010, I searched the internet and found some hints about problems using the WPF GUI of VS2010. I found the tipp to call devenv /Resetsettings and devenv /ResetSkipPkgs in Command Prompt to eliminate the cause of corrupted settings. This solved the problem – and removed all VisualDDK menus etc.. So I’m not sure, but as I didn’t have any further VS2010 extensions installed, it could have been related to VisualDDK. The project I was debugging was no driver project, but just a normal MFC app. I’ve been using VisualDDK now for some month without problems, so perhaps this effect is related to some W7 update of WPF? I’m not sure, if there can be done anything, but at least it could be a hint for other people facing the same strange behaviour of a completely frozen PC when debugging inside VS2010.
HTH,
