Visual Studio 2010 crashes when loading
Just trying to start Visual Studio 2010 to an empty environment, no project, solution, or file, but it crashes. It was working fine a few days ago.
I’ve tried reinstalling VS SP1 with the Repair option. I’ve tried the /SafeMode and /ResetSettings switches. I also tried runnign with the /Log switch but I don’t see anything about an error in the log file.
My setup: VS 2010 Professional edition, SP1 running on Windows XP.
I was able to fix this by stopping the WPFFontCache process and deleting the “.dat” files from “C:\Documents and Settings\LocalService\Local Settings\Application Data” and then restarting.
