I have the strangest problem, never had this problem before on any machine. I open an asp.net c# web project with VS.Net 2003. It opens fine. I then either open my web browser and go to http://localhost/mywebproject/default.aspx, or I run the application from within VS.Net. It opens fine.

However, when I make the slightest change to my default.aspx file, even just adding a space and then deleting it and saving the .aspx file, then "refresh" the browser (using IE 6.0), the website just sits there as though it's taking awhile to refresh...but it never refreshes. If I try to do anything else on my machine, such as look at Task Manager, the machine completely locks up. :(

I actually just let the machine do its thing for about 20-25 minutes (yeah, it took that long) and then this message finally came up:

"Time out waiting for a program to execute. The command being executed was "c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v1.1.4322\csc. exe" /noconfig @"C:\Windows\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v1.1.4322\Tem porary ASP.Net Files\remarkablecoffees\903d4e45\d6bbf567\uir21m1b .cmdline".

I've search the internet like crazy looking for a possible reason why this happens, can't find anything. If anyone has any way to figure this out I would be very, very appreciative.

I've tried reloading Visual Studio to repair it, didn't help.

I'm currently running Windows XP SP 2 with all windows updates installed.

For the time being I'm going to just run all ASP.Net applications on my windows 2003 server so I can get some work done (works fine that way, on my 2003 server).

Thanks in advance, I know this is a strange one.
