I've installed VWD2008 Express on two machines. The aspx page cannot be switched to Design or Split mode. After clicking Design, the page just don't render. The display area will show whatever other windows' remaining content if it's covered. Clicking Split
doesn't do anything. Source View works fine. The application is not hang. I can still close the tab and reopen it in Source mode.
However, another installation works fine.
(Both PC are Win XP SP2. This problem machine has Symantec Firewall, Norton Ant-virus installed. They have different display card.)
I tried to reinstalled/repair it a lot of time and it doesn't solve the problem.
Make sure Microsoft Web Authoring Component appears in Control Panel. If it does, uninstall it. The go to WCU\WebToolsCore\en-us in VS DVD and run WebToolsCore.exe. The setup does not have UI, give it about 10 minutes to finish. Verify that Web Authoring
Component appears in Control Panel. Try go to DV again.
Can you give me version of the fpeditax.dll in Program Files\Microsoft Web Designer Tools\VWD and version of MSO.DLL in
Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\OFFICE12? Right click on the dll and choose Properties then Details.
Btw, I downloaded the trial version of Team edition. There is no WCU\WebToolCore but WebDesignerCore.exe.
I un-installed Web Authoring Component and ran WebDesignerCore.exe. The "VS Web Authoring component" reappeared in control but the problem remains. And the version of Fpeditax.dll number is the same.
Just wonder. Could Symantec Client Firewall cause the problem?
Does it happen in plain HTML pages as well? I.e. when you simply open VS, File | New | HTML page and switch to DV? Also, did you perform complete install or a custom setup?

Microsoft Web authoring component appears in Control Panel. I tried to remove it and reinstall VWD. But it's the same.
I downloaded VWD from web and don't have VS DVD.

Yes, it happens in plain Html as well. I think I did complete install. And I did repairing the installation too.

Can you try another scenario:
1. New Web site
2. add a stylesheet
3. Drag stylesheet from solution explorer to <head> element in default.aspx
4. Define a class in the CSS file, such as .class1 { background-color: red; } and save CSS file.
5. type class= in the <body> element attributes
Does intellisense display class1?

The intellisense doesn't work. No class1 popup. I tried control-space and still nothing.
