Windows Vista and Visual Studio 2008 Trial (Pre-release) Version: Crash on mouse wheel scroll- Workaround

Filed under: Uncategorized — sacdotnet @ 6:01 am

I am using Visual Studio 2008 Trial version with Windows Vista Ultimate. In the document windows, the moment I roll the wheel of my wheel mouse, studio crashes. I changed the mouse but same problem occurred. It is very annoying. It seems like this is a problem that had been already reported.

The workaround is the following:

1. Go to Windows Vista Control Panel

2. Click Mouse

3. Go to Wheel tab

4: If Vertical Scrolling Selection is “One scroll at a time”, change the selection to

“The following number of lines at a time. “. Select the number to 1 (or more as you please)

5: Click OK

 

This seems to have fixed the problem for me.

If Vertical Scrolling Selection is NOT “One scroll at a time”, then you need to report the bug to Microsoft.

Microsoft needs to fix this issue. Hope it will be included in the release version.
