My IDE starts up and then the 'Visual Assist X Options' dialog appears all by itself, and I have to close it.

Thanks,
David

This is very strange, and should not happen. Can you please go to:

VA Options -> System Info -> Copy Info

and paste the details (from the clipboard) into your reply. This will give us the basic information about your setup.

I see this too. It happens in VS2005 and 2008:

How are you loading the IDE?
Does loading the IDE via a different method make any difference?

I would not expect Resharper to be causing this problem, quite a few of our users use this. A quick web search reports that Visual SVN is the Subversion plugin for the IDE, so again I would expect this to be quite common.

Is this a new problem, or have you seen it in previous versions of the IDE? I am wondering if something has changed recently to trigger this problem.

Thanks for all your help!

Hmm, a commonality - I also have Resharper 4 installed. It did not happen with Resharper 4 Beta, but I think it started happening with final Resharper 4.

Also, it does not happen when I start IDE from Start Menu. But when I double click a .sln file it starts the IDE and loads the solution, then the dialog pops up.

BTW, I had a nicer reply but when I tried to post it, it said I had to login, and I lost my entire post! Perhaps you could fix that to retain the post that I had typed.

Thanks,
David

Our forum seemed to be having problems earlier today, unfortunately your post may have been caught up in those problems and lost. Apologies for that.

Just for reference, in case it was supposed to have been fixed, I'm still seeing this with 1645 (and the same RTM version of R# 4.0 as when I last posted into this thread.)

Maybe it's a R# problem and not a VA problem?

This has not been fixed in VA 1645. This thread should be updated when this is fixed.

This is down as a relatively urgent bug fix, but so far I do not have any estimate on when this will be fixed.

I've also got this and have raised the issue with Jetbrains before spotting the issue on here too: R#

http://www.jetbrains.net/jira/browse/RSRP-75139

Summary of my testing (also in the jira bug above):

If I don't have VA installed (but R#), the dialog does not appear on startup.
If I don't have R# installed (but VA), the dialog does not appear on startup.
If I revert R# to V3 but leave VA at current version, the dialog does not appear on startup.
n.b. Both R# and VA are licensed.

R# Version: 4.0.819.16
VA Version 10.4.1640.0

Again with 10.4.1645.0 I get the problem.
