Problem Installing VS2005 Standard on new computer
I have been using VB2005 Express since November 2005 and VB2005 Standard on a three year old Pentium 4 computer with 1GB of RAM, integrated graphics and Windows XP SP2 with all the latest update.
I am trying to transfer to a new Compaq Preasario with Inter TM2 6400 dual core processors, NVIDIA GeForce 7500 LE graphics and 2GB RAM and XP SP2 updated.
I have loaded OfficeXP, Norton Internet Security 2007 and GoBack 4 successfully along with copying all my datafiles from my old computer via an external hard disk. Successfully.
I then loaded Visual Studio 2005 with VB and C# along with the MDSN Library. The next time I used Windows Explorer and right clicked on a datafile, the VS2005 JIT debugger kicked in with the error message "an unhandled exception occurred in explorer.exe (2972)". So, I loaded VS2005 SP1 but the problem persisted and I then uninstalled VS 2005 and the CLR and the problem stopped with Explorer. It appears that both GoBack and the Compaq system restore have no restore points available whereas they had before the install.
Have you any idea what the problem is?
