Visual Studio 2008 Form Designer Issue

[RuSty420]

Do you have VS 2008 SP1 and the latest updates installed?

I haven't installed any updates yet, could try that if nothing else works.

I didn't see that behavior in beta so SP/updates shouldn't really matter [I think].

I wouldn't think so either, because the problem seems to be virtually undocumented (judging by google searches).

Are you running XP or Vista? If it's XP then it couldn't be a video card problem. If it's Vista then that's possible but I doubt it.

I am running XP. Do you think the SP version of XP could have something to do with it?

I would suggest creating a new, clean project and trying it. If it works then there is an issue with your Project / Solution and I would try creating new ones and migrating your code over.

If creating a new one shows the same behavior then I'd uninstall Visual Studio 2008 and then reinstall.

I will try this sometime in the near future. Although I dread the thought of the uninstall/install process of VS2008. Took me close to 2 hours to upgrade from VS2005.
