Visual Studio 2008 crashing when opening empty .aspx or .js file

Question

Visual Studio 2008 has started crashing on my machine when I open .aspx or .js files. I think that this problem started after I logged off Windows with several Visual Studio instances up and running. Windows prompted me to kill the Visual Studio processes.

In an attempt to find the route cause of the problem I have discovered that simply opening a completely empty file with either of these extensions will crash Visual Studio. I have no solution loaded.

This is on XP SP3 with .NET 3.5 SP1, ASP.NET MVC2 ReSharper 5.1.

The crash still happens if I suspend ReSharper.

I've ran various hotfixes and re-ran the installers for Visual Studio, .NET 3.5 SP1 and MVC2.

Windows Event Viewer reports the following

.NET Runtime version 2.0.50727.3603 - Fatal Execution Engine Error (7A036050) (80131506)

Any suggestions...?
