I got this when starting the installer. I ignored it and went ahead without any problems.

Look at the image. This site is not on the white list. I have seen this happening on a few sites.

Referencing a client-side image map declared with id attribute doesn’t work in text/html (usemap)

It took only 10 years to fix it. Haven’t looked at the fix yet. I only noticed this bug in 2007 and filed a duplicate.

This is from Windows Live Family Safety. The error message says “An attempt was made to reference a token that does not exist.”

Error Code: 800703F0.

The solution seems to be reinstalling Windows Live Family Safety.

I got this error from Visual Studio 2008.

Creating an instance of the COM component with CLSID {8885370D-B33E-44B7-875D-28E403CF9270} from the IClassFactory failed due to the following error: 80040111

I searched and found one link that refers to Office Communicator. I don’t have that SDK installed though and the error message said it was from Team Foundation.

Update: This may have something to do with the power tools. They should have used the method mentioned here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/cmayo/archive/2009/08/13/getting-sign-in-sign-out-status-via-office-communicator-2007-sdk.aspx

If you get this message when you try to get the latest version of a document or file from TFS source control then you may have deleted the file in question after the last fetch from the source control.

The solution is to use “get specific version” and check the overwrite option. See the image below.

If you recently moved over from VSS you know that when you get the latest version from VSS, if the file is missing locally, VSS would just get it again even if the local copy went missing. TFS doesn’t seem to be doing this. We get this error instead.

At this point I don’t know if this is a problem with devenv.exe or the new garbage collector. But my computer is choking. It may be a problem on Windows XP only. I need to check this on my Windows 7 computer.

This is right after opening a bunch of files and then closing everything including the solution and files.

This is after opening more files of different types. Opening a XAML file immediately consumed 50MB of memory! That was the biggest spike.

As it is, it doesn’t look good. I will have to go back to Visual Studio 2008 which has its own problems. May be I need a new computer or something is messed up in the installation. This is VS2010 RTM.

I tried to run the installation of Small Basic again and opted for repair. This is the error I got.

Open the Tools->Options

Under Source Control -> Visual Studio Team Foundation Server, click on the “Configure User Tools” button.

If you don’t see any extensions being setup, add extensions using the following method:

Click on the Add button.

Specify extension with the dot. For example “.cs” without quotes.

Select operation as “Compare”.

Select command as C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\diffmerge.exe

The command location depends on where you installed and which version of Visual Studio you are using. Just lookup for the diffmerge.exe. On a 64 bit Windows the file is located under x86 program files folder.

Set the arguments to %1 %2 %6 %7 %5 /ignorespace

Note: This doesn’t ignore blank lines added or removed.

You are set for comparing files ignoring white space.

Add additional extensions.
