Visual Studio Web Developer 2010 Express window numbers and debugging crashes

2
votes

Installed Visual Studio Web Developer 2010 Express from the ISO available from this page:

http://www.microsoft.com/express/downloads/

If it helps this is the info from the about visual studio window:

  • Microsoft Visual Studio 2010: Version 10.0.30319.1 RTMRel
  • Microsoft .NET Framework - Version 4.0.30319 RTMRel
  • Installed Version: WD Express

For some reason I get silly big red numbers appearing in the right hand side and on tool bar windows. Whenever I resize the window the numbers change and they are extremely annoying.

Have been through all the settings and options and cannot find the 'Turn off the silly big red numbers everywhere' check box. Can anyone show me where this is please?

More annoying than silly big red numbers is debugging against IIS7 where visual studio just hangs and nothing will work again until a restart. Vista Business running 32 bit. VS2008 works fine on the same machine.

If anyone has any pointers or help for me it would be very much appreciated

Are you sure that isn't some other application putting those in? – Marc Gravell
Have tried re-installing and installing again, resetting layout, resetting settings. everything. Cannot think of what other application could be adding this in. It's Web Developer Express so no plug ins work so it's not re sharper or anything like that. I am at a loss. – solrevdev
Is this the only application affected? – ChrisF
I have never seen anything like that before in VS. Are you absolutely sure some other application isn't putting those in? (And by other application, I don't mean extension, I mean separately-installed windows application) – Noah Richards
Somebody is playing a practical joke with you. Or with me. – Hans Passant

Definitely looks like Fraps. VS2010 is written in WPF, and WPF uses DirectX to render everything, that is why Fraps putting its FPS meter on VS2010 window. Just disable Fraps.
