Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around an issue where Visual Basic C++ runs automatically for error debugging when Internet Explorer is closed. Participants explore potential solutions and settings related to Visual Studio and its debugging features, as well as alternative browser options.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested
  • Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant reports that closing Internet Explorer triggers an error message and the automatic launch of Visual Basic C++ for debugging.
  • Another suggests disabling a feature in Visual Studio related to “automatic runtime debugging” but does not specify where to find this option.
  • A participant mentions the possibility of reinstalling Internet Explorer or switching to alternative browsers like Firefox or Opera as potential solutions.
  • There is a discussion about checking the Services control panel to prevent Visual Studio services from starting automatically, although the implications of this are uncertain.
  • Some participants express concerns about involving their computer service due to past negative experiences with them.
  • A participant questions whether the original poster is a programmer or simply using an old PC with Visual Studio installed, suggesting that uninstalling Visual Studio could resolve the issue if it is not needed.
  • The original poster clarifies that they are not a programmer but require Visual Studio for their work.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the best solution to the problem. Multiple competing views and suggestions are presented, and uncertainty remains regarding the effectiveness of the proposed actions.

Contextual Notes

There are limitations in the discussion regarding the specific settings in Visual Studio and the potential consequences of altering service startup configurations. The effectiveness of switching browsers or uninstalling Visual Studio is also not established.

Hi,

I don't know what's wrong with my PC that when I close the last browser (IE), an error message will pop up, then the Visual Basic C++ automatically runs for the error debugging. I always use Ctrl+Alt+Del to stop it. How to stop the Visual Basic C++ running automatically? Thanks

I think the Visual Studio feature you'd have to turn off is called something like “automatic runtime debugging.”
 
I thought that too, but I couldn't find that option to turn off. Do you know exactly where? Thanks
 
I don't, I'm afraid, I've got a separate dev system and I never turn it off. Another option would be to try reinstalling IE, or installing and using FireFox or Opera.

Come to think of it, though - if you don't use VS all the time you could also try going to the Services control panel and making sure that any VS ones do not start automatically. I don't know if this would make it so that you'd need to start them manually when using VS, though.

I had that and converted to Firefox...
 
Actually, this is my PC at work, not my own. I can call the computer service, but I am afraid that they would ruin my PC (you can't believe :), yesy they did a lot!)
Mayday, can you tell litle more? Thanks all.
 
Firefox is a free internet browser that you can download. I would get your computer service in if it is free, give them IT peopel something to do...
 
Thanks Mayday. It is free and they are IT people. Not only me but we all "cried" for them.
 
Mike, if it's free make them work for their money! =]

Wait just a second… are you actually a programmer? Do you actually use Visual Studio or do you just have a programmer's old PC? If you don't need Visual Studio you can uninstall it and it should stop doing that. But be warned, depending on how fast your computer is it could easily take a half hour to uninstall.

Yes and No. I am not a programmer, but I need the Visual Studio.
Mayday, don't try your risk to make them money :) believe me.

Thank you all.
