This article was previously published under Q201527



SYMPTOMS
Certain corrupt configuration files cause Visual J++ to do one of the following:


 * Not load.
 * Use excessive amounts of memory when the developer shell loads.



RESOLUTION

 * If your Visual J++ 6.0 generates a GPF on startup then try renaming or moving the following file to a different directory:

\ \Profiles\ \Application Data\Microsoft\Visual Studio\views.prf (profile file)

NOTE: The user's profile will be re-created the next time Visual J++ is loaded so it is safe to remove this file.
 * If Visual J++ uses excessive amounts of memory during startup and after releases some of that memory after loading Visual J++, you might have a corrupt file in the project that you are loading. Check the following file and rename or move them:

.suo

NOTE: The .suo file will be automatically re-created the next time the development environment is loaded for this project so it is safe to remove it.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
