Something strange is happening and I need some clarification.

When I click on the Start button <F5>, the IDE just hangs. Im not sure why it does this. I am able to run the application using Start without Debugging just fine <CTRL>+<F5>.

By the way, Im running the latest release of VS.
VS 2003, Windows 2K Advanced Server SP3.


Please help.

Thanks,

niv
 
That's happened to me before to. Try doing a build <ctrl-shift-b> and then running it normally
 
I've never had it completely hang (I've never seen *anything* completely hang my WinXP, Win2000 or Win2003 builds except the very rare graphical blue screen when a new video driver is installed).

I have seen the app start up (when I press F5) but "hang" while loading some DLLs. It happens every 20 or 30 runs, but not predictable at all. I simply stop execution and start again and it goes through. It's annoying, but I can live with it.

Niv,

I get this quite a lot. Normally deleting my Debug or release directory cures it as it has to do a full rebuild of everything.

Hope this helps

Many times when I'm developing, I run the program and the IDE acts as though it's in debug mode (the toolbox and all that goes away, and I can't edit the code), but no program appears. All it takes is a click on the "Stop" button and then start it again and it fixes itself.

Maybe you should search MS Knowledge Base?
 
also happens in vs2002 :/
I have one programm that had it befor a format, now it runs fine, but you can view the aplicationv via alt+crtl+del and then dubleclick on it works here atleast
