So I went back into VS IDE to try some new attack, and decided
I would uncheck all the tools so that the checklist matched what the
Toolbox was showing.  I hit OK, and the dialog dissappeared, with
no controls showing in the toolbox.

I then went back to hit Reset one more time, and got an error box
that said something like 'There has been an error in one of your
components.'  The error was similar to Object not set to a valid
instance, and on that error dialog was a scrollable list that listed
the loaded modules, with something about JIT debugging at the
end of the list.  Pressing Continue was supposed to ignore the
error (there was only a Continue button to press) and when I
hit that the IDE hung.  (Keep in mind I had no app runnning at
the time, I was simply trying to reset the toolbox)  I don't know
what that error message was for....

Task Manager shows the IDE as 'Running', but the tool dialog
is unresponsive, as well as the IDE behind it.  This is how it was
hung before, and this time I let it stay that way for several minutes.
I see no process hogging the cpu, its sitting near 0% but the IDE
is hung up.

As it sits, the IDE is probably in a race condition, (However my
knowledge of that is about at 0%) and if I try to end the process I
expect I'll get more trouble, so I opted to send this message off
before trying that.

Unless I hear otherwise, it appears my only other option is to
attempt a repair of the installaion, but I don't hold out much
hope of that working either....

Any assistance would be appreciated!

After unchecking all the controls, and hitting OK, trying
reset again caused the dialog to hang.   I had to end the
process from the Task Manager and when I did, the TM
indicated the program was waiting for a response from me!

In any case, when I fired up the IDE again, all the tools were back.
