Q:

Visual Studio 2010 crashes after build

I have a VB.Net windows forms application that has been around for a very long time. I am working the project in Visual Studio 2010 Premium, on my Windows 7 x64 workstation. Everything has been going along fine till a couple days ago. No every time I build this project Visual Studio 2010 crashes.
The only thing i have to go on is this from another Visual Studio 2010 instance that attached the debugger to the dieing process.
...
The thread 'Win32 Thread' (0x177c) has exited with code -2147023895 (0x800703e9).
The thread 'Win32 Thread' (0xc44) has exited with code -2147023895 (0x800703e9).
The program '[4224] devenv.exe: Native' has exited with code -2147023895 (0x800703e9).

No one else on my team has this issue, and I don't have problems with any other projects.
This is .Net 4.0.
Any thoughts or suggestions are much appreciated,
Beezler

A:

It might be wise to start VS with the /safemode parameter.
I also had this problem and I solved it by uninstalling the Achievements extension.
