Maybe so, but I use many machines with many different configurations. I often don't have much control over particular machine configurations (clients' machines, sometime XP, sometimes low memory 2Gig.) So it seems that you're lucky, or I'm doing something that you're not. Most of the time, I am using installs that have no extra plug-ins. Either way, it's an issue I come across quite frequently, and I'm sure other people have experienced it.

Hmmm I run 5 to 6 concurrent instances of VS2008 almost every day (a mixture of winforms clients and services projects, and some ASP), > and although it can occasionally slow down a little (or a lot), I haven't had any problems with VS2008 stability due to the number running. And that's on a Vista box, to boot. Yeah. Obviously the problem with anecdote-based-analysis is that you don't get much good information to actually compare on. I'd guess his crashes are related to plugins or something external. > Steve -- silky http://www.programmingbranch.com/
