On some machines running 64bit Windows and Visual Studio 2008 the IDE will crash when you trigger the Find dialog (CTRL-F). This is actually a bug in Windows, not in Visual Assist X or the IDE:

From this page:

If you are experiencing this issue you will need to contact Microsoft Customer Service & Support (http://support.microsoft.com) and ask for the Windows Hotfix with ID 947841.

I am also pleased to announce that we have created a workaround in VS 2008 SP1 which eliminates this problem and the need for the patch. That workaround is queued for checkin to our build process and will be available in the Beta of the service pack.


A direct link to the patch page is:
