I start up an existing solution, click on a JavaScript file, the file opens up in the IDE for a few seconds and then visual studio disappears. This is consistent and reproducible.

I saw this patch for KB958502 and installed it but it didn't seem to do anything.

Any suggestions on how i can proceed as this is completely stopping my development here.

Also, any questions that would help make this question easier to answer (log files, etc) as i couldn't really think of any other descriptions or artifacts to help explain the situation.

  • Tried just re-installing VS? Could be problems with intellisense or just about anything else for that matter :P Commented Apr 26, 2010 at 22:45

I know this was asked over a year ago but I suspect the culprit is a plugin / extension. If anybody else has this same issue try starting visual studio in SafeMode:

Devenv.exe /SafeMode

This prevents all third-party plug-ins from loading.

This helped me identify why my VS was crashing with JS files.

Another switch I suggest using is:

Devenv /log Path\NameOfLogFile

As a temporary solution you could edit this specific file in Notepad++ instead of VS.
