Visual Studio 2008 on Windows 7 hangs (is not responding) when opening web.config file

visual-studio-2008windows 7

I have just completed moving my C# ASP.NET web application from Visual Studio 2008 running on Windows XP to Visual Studio 2008 running on Windows 7.

I have noticed when I open my web application in Visual Studio 2008 and double-click on the web.config file to edit the file, that Visual Studio 2008 hangs (is not responding).

Am I missing something? Is this a bug with Visual Studio 2008 running on Windows 7, and if so, is there a fix?

Thanks in advance.

Kind Regards

Walter
