Ok, I've launched VS that way. Will wait for a crash to happen. May be a few days (it didn't happen at all yesterday).

As far as extensions, I don't have Reflector on this box. I do have the Productivity Power Tools installed.

Hello Ryan,

Thank your for the information. We will try to recreate the environment in which you reproduce this behavior.

In the meantime, to narrow down the causes for this situation please verify several things for us:

• Check if you have ".NET Reflector Visual Studio Extension" installed on your VS2010. If you do, please try to disable it and let us know if the problem persists
• Right-Click your VS2010 shortcut and modify the "Target" like so:

After the "/log" switch please specify a path where Visual Studio will dump its ActivityLog.xml. For example "/log C:\Logs\ActivityLog.xml". That way when Visual Studio crashes, it will save the information and reasons for the crash in this file. Please send us the ActivityLog.xml file (please remember to zip it first.

Thank you for your time!

Infragistics

Hi Josheela.

The funny thing is, lots of times, I'm not actively using that VS.NET window, and in another app on the machine. It just ends up popping up. The solution doesn't happen to have references to Infragistics either. If it helps, here is what the Infragistics menu looks like:

Here's the StackTrace from event viewer.
