We have been using vs 2010 for years on this machine, (server 2003) and now visual studio just started crashing on startup. there is no way to run it at all, it just crash
It looks like the problem was a windows update that was incompatible with the Team Foundation Server 2010 Power Tools that were installed. When I installed the latest version of the power tools, VS stopped crashing.
