Getting intermittent VAX crashes when I try to load a solution. (i.e. VS.NET2003 goes to start page, I click on a project, and after it loads most of the project files Watson comes up saying that VS.NET2003 crashed, the crash occurred in vs_vax.dll. Unfortunately there's no minidump collected, so I can't send you guys that one.

I can't reproduce this crash reliably, but it's been happening for quite a while now. Seems to happen about 1/10 times when loading solutions. (Has been happening with all the builds so far as far as I can recall.)

Actually make that about 1/2. I just got it again. The crash is in va_x.dll (sorry, misremembered in the last message.) Right before Watson a messagebox came up with "Runtime error 204 at 1EE954F8). Error is an access violation from what I can see, at 1ee94f78. Not sure if that's helpful.

Let me know if I can help gather additional info.

We cannot reproduce the problem using build 1218 and VS.NET 2003 on XP.

What build do you have? We prefer 1218. (The address is ours.)

If not a minidump, we will take any call stack you can get.

Do you mind removing the ncb file(s) associated with your project(s). They often get corrupt and crash the IDE.

Conflicts with other add-ins or packages are common to startup and exit problems. Do you have others installed?

Sorry guys, this is all I'm able to get for stacktrace:

VA_X.DLL+0x194a00. Event WinDbg trace of it is inconclusive:

0:000> kp
*** Stack trace for last set context - .thread/.cxr resets it
ChildEBP RetAddr
WARNING: Stack unwind information not available. Following frames may be wrong.
00128fe8 01e80970 va_x!DllCanUnloadNow+0x3e59b
1ef17608 00000000 0x1e80970

I am using build 1218. (Actually in the about box it shows 1217... not sure why.)

No other add-ins installed. I'll remove the .ncb's and ping you again if I get another crash.
