Management Studio keeps blowing upup with a "Would you like to report this to MS" window. It's running on XP Pro. 2GB RAM and plenty of HD space. I have run a complete scan with Norton and Defender. I even ran a Checkdisk on that drive with no error. I have uninstalled and re-installed SSMS. I am up to date on MS updates. It works fine on the DB machine itself. That machine is not up to date as far as MS updates. I am at a complete loss. Help! Kyle! Is this while you are doing a specific task or at random? I used SSMS on XP
Pro for a long time with no problems like that and know plenty of others that do as well. So I suspect that it has more to do with not being on the latest service packs for the OS but there isn't much to go on. -- Show quoteAndrew J.

The machines that are NOT up to date are NOT having problems. K! Show quote "Andrew J.

Are you saying the database server (another machine altogether) is at a lower revision than the client tools on your machine? If so you may want to try and reinstall the client tools and only apply the same service packa s the server itself. I don't know of an issue per say but nothing else pops out. -- Show quoteAndrew J.

sense... "A generic error occurred in GDI+" As I was seeing strange stuff on the screen when the error occurred. I even tried re-installing the graphics driver (which is the latest one available from Dell and it's over a year old.) But with the same results. I may have to call MS. Show quote "Andrew J.

Else you might be better off opening a case with Microsoft, since someone needs to analyse the dumps. -- Erland Sommarskog, SQL Server MVP, esq***@sommarskog.se Books Online for SQL Server 2005 at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2005/downloads/books.mspx Books Online for SQL Server 2000 at http://www.microsoft.com/sql/prodinfo/previousversions/books.mspx Well here's how I finally got this fixed.
I ran a repair on the .NET 2.0 Framework. Then I had to reboot the machine. (Before rebooting the machine it still didn't work.) Then when I ran SSMS, the run-time system must have detected that something changed because it re-compiled the app. And it's now working! Hopefully the installation of a SP or KB fix somewhere along the way didn't cause this, because it really made life painful.
