Visual Studio crashes when I view a JavaScript file

Question

I start up an existing solution, click on a JavaScript file, the file opens up in the IDE for a few seconds and then visual studio disappears. This is consistent and reproducible.

I saw this patch for KB958502 and installed it but it didn't seem to do anything.

Any suggestions on how i can proceed as this is completely stopping my development here.

Also, any questions that would help make this question easier to answer (log files, etc) as i couldn't really think of any other descriptions or artifacts to help explain the situation.

Answer 1

As a temporary solution you could edit this specific file in Notepad++ instead of VS.
