VSS error in Vista?
I have a VS2005 solution that uses Visual SourceSafe 6.0 source control. I am using Vista Ultimate 32 bit.
I keep getting this error when I close the file and look more often when the file is not under source control (like afxwin.h or something like that). However, it doesn't happen 100% of the time. Any workarounds? Haven't caused any problems yet, but it's annoying.

Your best option (if possible) is to move away from VSS6.0. Its old technology, and especially considering that it uses the file system, can give you some serious problems with Vista's new security.
There are many free options available, but if you are looking to buy something, TFS works pretty well, although you will need a SQL server as well.

Sounds like a real bug in VStudio, you can report it to MS on the product feedback website. url is in this link which also contains information on how to write a good report.
As an aside, I think you can upgrade to VSS 2005, which is almost identical but has a few updates for it, I think it should work better with VS2005, and IIRC is free with VS2005. If not, go to Subversion :)
