Visual Studio 2008 on Windows 7 hangs (not responding) when opening web.config file
I just finished moving my C # ASP.NET Web Application from Visual Studio 2008 running on Windows XP to Visual Studio 2008 running on Windows 7.
I noticed when I open my web app in Visual Studio 2008 and double click on the web.config file to edit the file that hangs in Visual Studio 2008 (not responding).
Am I missing something? Is this a bug with Visual Studio 2008 running on Windows 7, and if so, is there a fix?
Thanks in advance.
respectfully
Walter

I faced similar issue with VS 2008 and Windows 7 RTM. Other apps work fine when I go to VS 2008 and try to click a file in an existing solution, or try to create a new solution that hangs it. I have to create winforms, wpf and a database solution. Says xxx creation ... hard drive goes nuts, cpu% is high. But he does not react, let him sit for an hour without a difference (to create a new solution).
Installed VS 2008 SP1 and SQL Express SP1. Start VS with the ability to run as administrator. Tried the Vista, Vista SP1 and Vistar SP2 compatibility options with the same results. We tried to repair the installation, uninstall and reinstall. Have tried both VS 2008 Pro and Team. Previously worked with Windows 7 build 7168.
