_sometimes_ when I save a file in the IDE, I get a blue screen of death.
It _seems_ to happen most often when saving web user controls.

this also happened in the RC build. The blue screen says:

"a thread tried to release a resource it did not own"

MS Docs say it is a driver problem, but it ONLY happens in VS.NET 2005 (not
2003 or any other software I have) and only happens when I save a file.
Also, their have not been any recent driver changes.

Any help or should I call PSS as this makes it hard to develop.

Hi Wayne,

I noticed you posted this problem in our Bug Report web site a few days
before, currently this issue has already been logged into our internal
database, and the corresponding VS2005 product team will work on it, it may
need some time to research and work around it.

>Any help or should I call PSS as this makes it hard to develop.

Since the PSS will not support an RC product, I suggest you may test our
VS2005 RTM product first, if that problem still exists, then you can
contact PSS for the further support. This may need you submit a support
incident in Microsoft PSS (Product Support Service). As a MSDN subscriber,
you have two free support incidents.

By the way, if the problem is confirmed by Microsoft PSS as a product
issue, PSS won't charge money. Every MSDN subscriber has two free support
incidents. You could use one of them to contact Microsoft PSS. So you don't
need to pay money yet. Surely if the issue is a product issue, you still
have two free support incidents.

For your reference, I attached steps to contact Microsoft PSS here: You can
contact Microsoft Product Support directly to discuss additional support
options you may have available, by contacting us at 1-(800)936-5800 or by
choosing one of the options listed at
http://support.microsoft.com/common/international.aspx?rdpath=gp;en-us;offer

Thanks for your understanding!

Yes, I did post it there, that was for RC1 - tried to modify it the other
day and could not for some reason.
Wanted to say it seemed to happen 'more' in user controls.

Also, tried to post it as a bug for RTM, but RTM is not a choice on the drop
down list (yet).

If they cannot reproduce it, I am guessing they will contact me and I can
check on the status of it through that bug website?

yes, currently it appears the product team cannot repro this error, I think
you may upload a self-contain sample project to that correspnding bug
website just as they suggested:)

Thanks for your understanding!

There are two possibilities here:

1. Visual Studio has a bug.
2. Visual Studio exposed a bug in someone else's driver or in Windows.

While, for you, it is only in Visual Studio, it is possible that others
experience it in some other software. Most BSODs are driver problems and a
great majority of them deal with display drivers.

My first plan of action would be making sure all drivers for all hardware
are up to date. The manufacturer's site is the best place to start that
query. I would then contact PSS after you do that (if the problem persists).

The BSOD should have created a dump file which should have the offending
piece of software (driver, etc.).
