Visual Studio 2008 IntelliSense stopped working after uninstalling VAX. Since trial version expired and VAX suggested removing it I have done this but now Visual Studio IntelliSense in C++ projects stopped working completely.
So it seems that uninstalling corrupts VS built-in IntelliSense?
Have tried everything suggested here:

What else can I do to make VS IntelliSense working again? (until I get the VAX license from my employer ;-)) |

You might re-try the solution provided by your colleague but don't install VA afterward. Run that way for a few days to make sure something else in the environment isn't causing trouble. |

D'ho ... Installed VAX build 1842 (trial - 3 days left) but then I disabled VAX and VS IntelliSense stopped working again ... |

Solution by my colleague (called "Seitzi"):
- quit VS
- delete .ncb
- remove or rename C:\\Users\\....\\AppData\\Roaming\\Microsoft\\VisualStudio\\9.0 |

FYI: A colleague asked me to test it using another user ... and using the other user (on the same machine etc.) it works ... (deleted .ncb file before and the new one, using the other user, was smaller) - when switching back to my user: "Updating IntelliSense (...)" and then nothing ... |

Thank you for your prompt responses!
No I didn't rename feacp.dll or did something else with that DLL.
This DLL is only located at:
C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\\VC\\vcpackages
The .ncb file is re-created when I delete it. Also tried to restart VS, rebooting the machine. Clean solution, build it again. Nothing helped. Only getting:
IntelliSense: 'No additional information available' (see 'Troubleshooting Intellisense in C++-Projects' for further help). |

After deleting it, is the .NCB file being recreated when you load your solution? If "feacp.dll" has been renamed this won't happen, and will explain why you are seeing this problem. |

[original response removed - I misunderstood.]
Did you rename the feacp.dll file at any point? |
