I have a problem with my visual studio 2008. Im on design view and i want to add an image list to the form, but when i add it, Visual studio just exits, no error messages or nuting cum up and its very annoying cos as im in college doing an IT course and i need VS 2008 Pro Edition to work cos i will be getting big projects to do soon and i cant do them if it crashes like this. Im on windows vista 32 bit by the way, Any help people wud be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I've never had this problem, but it seems like the imagelist component is either corrupted or is missing or maybe visual studio or .net framework were not installed properly. In either case, you might wanna re-install visual studio. If it is a school computer, then there might be some security program that's causing the crash.

il try that, tanks, just as a matter of interest when i first got VS and was setting it up, there was 3 setup icons to choose from, one with the multicoloured sheiled beside it, one with a package box beside it and another normal one, does it matter which setup icon i choose to install VS on my laptop ??

I don't remember those icons. do they have any descriptions?

[Cozzie]

It doesnt matter bout de setup icons, its ok, I reinstalled it and its still doing the same thing, and its not only the image list, i dragged other stuff on to the form and VS just exits, it seems to be all the 'components' in the toolbox thats causing the problem and some others aswell, for instance, wen i drop one of the components on, the component appears under the form as usual but wen i select it or sumting else in VS, it just exits, Can anyone help me please

Sounds weird. Have you contacted Microsoft about the problem?

[Cozzie]

i was going through the steps to contact them but when i got to the end it was asking me to pay for it, is dere a free service to contact them or do i have to pay, or do they have a telephone number i can contact them by??

There's no free Microsoft tech support. I don't understand your description of the problem. Have you talked to your instructors who have more experience with configuring the IDE and can actually see what the problem is?
