I've noticed that Visual Studio 2010 with sp1 installed seems quite fragile. It crashes regularly for me. I normally have a huge number of different tools installed and used to have no problems. I've not sat down and tried to troubleshoot what's causing it but it just feels like sp1. I could be

Have you tried attaching WinDbg to your Visual Studio instance? Tatham Oddie posted an article how he used this to debug a VS crash; You might not fix your problem per se but if you knew what caused it could perhaps work around it. its an interesting read anyway.

No I have not tried that. I installed VS2010 SP1 and that did not fix the problem. I think I will try re-installing VS2010 and see if that fixes the problem. If I still have problems, I'll try running WinDbg. If that fails to fix it, I'll switch across to another notebook which is

Hi all, I have a friend who is looking for a cheap laptop - pretty low end requirements, just something light mainly for web surfing on the go. Let me know if you have anything. Cheers Dave

How cheap? Dell Mini 10 is a little over $300 now and that is light and fine for surfing. Battery life is also decent On Tue, Jun 14, 2011 at 10:27 AM, David Burstin david.burs...@gmail.com wrote: Hi all, I have a friend who is looking for a cheap laptop - pretty low end requirements, just

A new netbook is probably faster than a old laptop, and more reliable. Even so, you can get laptops for less than $500 at JB. Depends on how much she wants to spend. On Tue, Jun 14, 2011 at 10:59 AM, David Burstin david.burs...@gmail.com wrote: I think she wants to avoid netbooks - her daughter

Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) vs VS2010

Folks, after many months absence from the subject I have returned to the task of writing some SQL 2008 R2 server-side reports. I previously had to perform the onerous task of uninstalling SQL Server 2008 from my server then reinstalling SQL Server with Advanced Tools so I could get BIDS to write

If it's just for web surfing, shouldn't matter. Stick linux and chrome on it, to make it fast enough, and avoid the malware. One of the netbooks comes configured something like that. On Tue, Jun 14, 2011 at 10:59 AM, David Burstin david.burs...@gmail.comwrote: I think she wants to avoid
