  • Visual Studio 2008 "Freezing" on TFS Check-in/out

    So I've been dealing with my Visual Studio 2008 "Freezing" on occasion when I'm trying to check-in or check-out files from Team Foundation Server. Basically every time I would try and do it VS 2008 would become unresponsive but it would never actually stop responding according to Task Manager and today I finally put 2 and 2 together. THE DIALOG IS POPING UP OFF THE SCREEN!!! I like many people I know use a dual monitor setup and I also happen to use it with a laptop docking station and every now and then my screen switch sides hence making our smart little dialog that remembers its location appear off the screen. So here's my fix. Whenever this happens I have to go to my screen settings and swap the positions of the monitors and bam! there is my dialog just waiting for me to click ok.

    This has been extremely frustrating! Why couldn't they just have it popup in the center of the parent or check if it's off screen and popup in the center of the parent if it is... At least I know how to fix it now.

    Hope this help someone else...
