I notice that starting a second instance of VS 2005 while VAX is still parsing the headers and things from the first instance causes it to freeze ("Not Responding"). The second instance releases itself when VAX finishes parsing in the first instance.

This happens even when the second instance of VS 2005 does not have a solution loaded and therefore VAX doesn't need to do anything.

Is this a VAX issue or a VS 2005 issue? If the former, can you make it more intelligent about locking out other instances, or it that too difficult?

Might you have a corporate edition of NAV 10 running? If so, can you try disabling ""Enable Auto-Protect".

What build of VA X do you have?

Does the problem occur if you start a 2nd instance after disabling VA X? (Disable "at startup" in Tools|Add-in Manager.)

I don't know what NAV 10 is, so I probably don't have a corporate version running. My VAX is:

VA_X.dll file version 10.2.1445.0 built 2006.04.12
Licensed to:
VA X: blah blah :)
VA.NET 7.1:
VAOpsWin.dll version 1.3.2.4
VATE.dll version 1.0.4.15
DevEnv.exe version 8.0.50727.42
msenv.dll version 8.0.50727.42
Font: Courier New 13(Pixels)
Comctl32.dll version 6.0.2900.2180
WindowsNT 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2
2 processors

Platform: Win32
Stable Includes:
C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\\VC\\include;
C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\\VC\\atlmfc\\include;
C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\\VC\\PlatformSDK\\include;
C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\\VC\\PlatformSDK\\common\\include;
C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\\SDK\\v2.0\\include;

Library Includes:
C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\\VC\\atlmfc\\src\\mfc;
C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\\VC\\atlmfc\\src\\atl;
C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\\VC\\crt\\src;

Other Includes:

------------

and, yes, the problem happens if I disable the "start" in add-in manager on the first instance before I start the second instance. OutputDebugString() seems to imply that something is bumping a global lock:

[2312] >> MSEnv extensibility IClassFactory::LockServer(TRUE), lock count: 1
[6084] >> MSEnv extensibility IClassFactory::LockServer(TRUE), lock count: 1
[2312] >> MSEnv extensibility IClassFactory::LockServer(TRUE), lock count: 2
[2312] >> MSEnv extensibility IClassFactory::LockServer(TRUE), lock count: 3
[2312] >> MSEnv extensibility IClassFactory::LockServer(FALSE), lock count: 2
[2312] >> MSEnv extensibility IClassFactory::LockServer(FALSE), lock count: 1

four "TRUE"s and only two "FALSE"s but I'm not sure if this is a red-herring

NAV is Norton Anti Virus.

OK, thanks. No I don't use Norton. I use Avast, if that's relevant. But not the resident stuff. I drive it manually.
