Hi Viv,
It has been happening while working on just code editing in an ASP.Net applicatin with Source control on Vault. Today I am workin in WPF and sample applications that are not connected to source control of any kind and it still happens. I have not had it happen while trying to run the application. It seems to do this with winforms, wpf, and asp. It seems to do it with source control or not. It has happened twice since I posted that message. I just clean booted my machine last night and I am not running anything that I have not been running for months. No telling what updates on things have occured though.
