Why does Visual Studio 2010 keep crashing when I try to load a database?

I'm not sure what is going on. I create a new Windows Forms Application project in VB.NET without changing any of the settings or labels. Then I click on "Add Data Source" and go through the steps in my programming book. Except that Visual Studio is crashing with a message stating that VB encountered a problem...checking for causes...restarting VB.

Sometimes I get to click the "Debug and Run" button before this happens; other times, it occurs before I move all the labels in form from the data source; and still other times, it happens when I click the "Stop Debugging" button.

I 开发者_开发技巧have tried removing VB and reinstalling it, but this still is not helping. (If it matters, I'm getting my copy of VB from www.dreamspark.com).

How can I stop Visual Studio from crashing whenever I try to load or work with a Data Source?

Please write better formatted questions ok? icant barely comprehend what you are asking so ill give you the best i could guess from what im reading kkthx

Had same problem once... I needed to reinstall my VS AND SQL Server.

However, it could also be a problem with the database (versioning, bad file etc) or even if your MS SQL Server instance (I'm assuming you got one with your VS) isn't configured right.
