Thanks Michael
I backed up the .sln and .suo files Edited the .sln file and removed a couple of projects I had unloaded. Deleted the .suo file. It seemed to start up ok. A clean and rebuild were fine. Visual Studio has built me a new .suo file. It looks ok fingers crossed.

If not then I'd edit the .sln file to remove that project and see if the crash persists. If it does then recreate the solution file and see if it persists. If not then re-add the project and see what happens. If it STILL fails. I'd consider SP1 and deploying the WCF service to IIS Express as this runs under your user account and does not require admin mode (avoid this mid-project if you can as I've had many reports of issues installing SP1 including personal ones and it takes forever).

The last time I worked on the solution (9 projects) it was fine. Every time I open the solution it starts up then states that Visual Studio has a problem and must close. No idea why, no hint given. I have run a chkdsk on the drive where my solution and projects exist and there are no errors. Should I remove the solution file and recreate a new one and add all my projects back in or is there some easier fix?
