VS 2008 Team System crash on opening solution

VS 2008 crashes whilst opening a solution file when it reaches the stage of "Loading project files 'Solution Items'".

Is there any way of either stopping the virtual folder of solution items from opening or a workaround for this? The solution is coming from TFS 2005 and source control.

Thanks

I had a problem with crashing Visual Studio too. Mine went away when I reset window positions.

I'm not sure that you crash is like that, though.

Have you tried creating a new solution and adding the projects from the old solution into it?

Another thing you could try is removing the .suo file of your solution. This files contains your personal settings and can get corrupted sometimes. It also contains which documents where open when you exited, so removing this file also clears that list.

.sln (and .csproj) files are just text files. So you could open the solution fle in a text editor and remove the entry for the offending project or item.
