When i try to start a new project for vb express 2005 it freezes up and can't figure why? I can work on an existing project, but won't allow me to create new.. any suggestions would be helpful thanks.

Maybe your computer is slow.

This used to happen for me. Try ending a few processes (Cntrl + Alt + Delete --> Processes --> [[Click on Something]] --> End Process). You don't really need instant messengers going, and stuff like that.

You don't really need explorer either - if my computer's going a bit slow I tend to end that. To restart it when you've finished programming go on Applications --> New Task... and then type "explorer.exe" without the quotation marks. I've called my adapted version explorer3.exe so if you've done likewise you'll need to replace "explorer.exe" with whatever you've renamed it to.

Why would you want 2005 instead of 2008?

And in the future, please don't use existing threads for new problems

ok man
I'm sorry for that
I'm new here

thanx again

Well, the reason I want 2005 is so I don't have to convert programs I've already written. Of course, I asked Microsoft support where I could download 2005 express, and I was pointed to the 2008 download site. I wish people would listen to what is being asked.

Have you looked into the multi-targeting feature added to VS 2008?

People do listen. There's a button called previous versions!
