I used Visual Assist X 10.4.1626.0.
Once I unistalled MSVC6.0 with SP6. I forgot unistalled Visual Assist X first, then it always remain a 'toolbar1' whatever I install/unistall them.
Maybe 'toolbar1' can remove in MSVC6 API, but I can't confirm it clean or not behind.

And, when I use them a long time, it make me some frame(GDI) disappear !
Sometimes it's MSVC some toolbar, sometimes it's MSVC output window, sometimes it's workspace window, etc...
Sometimes even my desk icon disappear !!
Sometimes even my taskbar window icon disappear !!!
Above, their images disappear, but entities still here! Make me can't handle it! Make me mad !

I don't understand.

Are you uninstalling and reinstalling VC6 on the same machine?

Are you trying to make VA work on this machine, or completely remove VA?

Can you try uninstalling VA, and make sure the IDE is closed. Then run regedit and delete the key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Whole Tomato\
and everything under it. Then run VC6 and make sure it is working correctly. If it is working correctly, can you try reinstalling VA. You will need to re-enter your VA license key. The VA toolbar should be recreated.

If you have extra toolbars then you can delete then by using:

IDE Tools menu -> Customize... -> Toolbars tab

and select any unwanted toolbars and delete them.

It also still happen...

I seem said wrong...
It makes some GUI frames disappear.
For example(I finally got a picture):

It's a example.
Sometimes it makes MSVC6 'Output' disappear, or toolbar disappear. (They remain a shadow(blur) when dropped the window.)
Sometimes it makes the desk disappear(only remain wallpaper).
Sometimes it makes the whole taskbar disappear, but all windows remained.

p.s. Windows XP SP3 (have .NET Framework 1.1, 2.0SP1, 2.0SP2, 3.0SP1, 3.0SP2, 3.5SP1) (Hope it's not .NET problem...)

Have you uninstalled Visual Assist X from your computer?

VA should never have any effects like that on explorer. It almost sounds like something on your computer is leaking resorces. Does rebooting make any difference?

Does rebooting help? If rebooting helps then this suggests something is leaking resorces. So you need to find the problem program.

VA should not be leaking resorces.

If your machine gets in this state again, launch task manager and choose View - Select Columns - GDI Objects. Sort by GDI object count and see if one or more processes has a count much greater than other processes, and whether that count is steadily increasing. If so, that process has a resource leak.

The size of each desktop heap allocation is controlled by the following registry value:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\System\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Session Manager\\SubSystems\\Windows

The default data for this registry value will look something like the following (all on one line):
%SystemRoot%\\system32\\csrss.exe ObjectDirectory=\\Windows
SharedSection=1024,3072,512 Windows=On SubSystemType=Windows
ServerDll=basesrv,1 ServerDll=winsrv:UserServerDllInitialization,3
ServerDll=winsrv:ConServerDllInitialization,2 ProfileControl=Off
MaxRequestThreads=16


Change 3072 to larger.

Does closing firefox help? If so this suggests something is leaking resorces, and you need to try and find the problem program.

Now... I almost confirm that the problem is from VAX...
Because I use my computer very long days..., and not happen. But I use MSVC6 once, and very much programs memory fault.
Maybe 'rename variable' make this problem happen? When 'rename', it flash the work frame...

But.. MSVS2008 hasn't resource lack.

How many files do you have in your solution in VC6?

If you open VA's Open File in Solution dialog (Alt-Shift-O) the title bar contains two numbers. The first number is the number of files currently listed, which changes as you filter the list. The second number is the total number of files in the list, which is normally the number of files in your solution. What is this second number?

There is a problem with VC6 its self, with very large solutions, perhaps 8,000 files or more, the class view stops working. I am wondering if this could be a factor, since this is IDE specific.

With VC6 closed can you try creating a zero length, read only .NCB file in the base directory of your VC6 solution, and see if this makes any difference?
