Some keys stop working in Visual Studio 2008 IDE

I use Windows 7 64-bit with 4 GB RAM to run a Windows Virtual PC Guest with Windows 2008 Server, Visual Studio 2008 SP1/Resharper 4.5 and SQL Server 2008. The guest has 2 GB RAM allocated.

Sometimes certain keys stop working in the VS IDE, most often the arrow keys, backspace and enter. The keys still works in Windows and other applications. Restarting VS seems to be the only solution. I've read some suggestions about not using the auto-hide toolbars/windows, but it does开发者_StackOverflow社区n't seem to work.

Yeah, really annoying. A friend at work showed me a simple fix. Just Press Alt+Enter. I have VS 2010. This corrects the issue every time.

Do one thing go to your visual studio editor,Under it go to Tools->Import And Export Settings...->Reset All Settings After resetting it your problem will be solve.

This issue still exists in VS2010 and I ran into it again. Microsoft are aware but still no fix:

Backspace and Arrow key not working (MS Connect)

Arrow keys stop working in editor (MS Connect)
