Hello everyone, I'm having a rather odd problem. When I start up VS 2008, my system immediately reboots. When it comes back up, everything works ok. I had VS 2008 express on here then upgraded to Professional Edition, don't know if that means anything, but you never know. I had VS 2005 on there running side by side, thought that might be the problem and uninstalled it, but no dice. If anyone has any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated |

What do you mean, "reboots"? Do you mean it does the same thing as when you use "Restart" from Start->Shutdown? Do you get a blue screen, (and if so, what's on the blue screen)? -- John Saunders | MVP - Connected System Developer |

I get the Visual Studio splash screen, then everything goes dark and the system starts up as if I just turned it on. No blue screen. When Windows boots up I get the "Windows has recovered from a serious error" dialog box. |

When Windows boots up I get the "Windows > has recovered from a serious error" dialog box. Which version of Windows? What are your settings under Startup and Recovery on the Advanced tab of System Properties (right-click My Computer and choose Properties)? In particular, if your system is not producing a crash dump, then you might get this behavior on a crash. Are you running anything else that might prevent a crash dump from being taken? Disk encryption software, etc? Are you running any Virtual Private Network software? -- John Saunders | MVP - Connected System Developer |

In the Startup and Recovery settings, I unchecked the "Automaticaly Restart" option. This time, when I started VS, I got the BSOD with the error PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA. With a little research, I found out there was a problem with my video card and by turning off hardware acceleration (Display->Settings->Advanced->Troubleshoot), VS now starts up pefectly Thanks for helping me out. Changing the Startup and Recovery Settings was the key. |
