VS 2005 Quick Search Box Displaying Results Right Aligned (Windows 7) - visual-studio-2005

I have VS 2005 Team Edition SP1 installed on with Windows 7 Enterprise. I'm facing a weird problem which was not their with Windows XP.
Quick search box results are coming right aligned with scrollbar on the left. I have taken a screenshot. Not sure what exactly the problem is, any one?

Visual Studio 2015 Jump List Icons Missing

I am not sure how this happened, but I can't find a fix from searching the interwebs. All of a sudden my Jump Lists for VS2015 (other programs work fine) show the generic icon. Has anybody ran across this and know a fix? FWIW I am running Windows 10 Enterprise.
Ok, So I enrolled into the Windows Insider Program and after updating to Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 14366 I got my icons back. So it appears that at some point this was patched by Microsoft.

Visual Studio Express 2013 for Desktop troubleshooting

Visual Studio 2013 for Desktop is displaying incorrectly. When I open the program, it displays correctly but upon moving my cursor over links or images inside of the interface, they either expand to fill the whole window or the line itself blurs.
I'm running Windows 8.1. I've run it in compatibility mode for XP, Vista, and 7. I've run as administrator. I've reinstalled and repaired. This error is easily reproducible and has occurred over the course of 3 days.
Any help would be appreciated.
Can only guess that your video card vendor happens to maintain a bad driver (or Windows Update pushed a bad version to your machine).

The workaround is to disable hardware graphics acceleration and test again.

VS2010 WF Designer always hang when scrolling to a bigger nest of process activities

I logged few reports to Microsoft Forum and Microsoft Connect. However, they didn't give me an exact feedback...
I am facing trouble to read XAML file with VS2010 Workflow Designer. I already formatted twice with clean Windows 7 SP1 x64 Enterprise OS and with the KBs. So did the VS2010 SP1 Ultimate x86 with all the KBs (as well as NET4.0 KBs).
My hardware is pretty fair good with Core 2 Duo T9400 with 4GB memory size. The only drawback I believe is the display interface - Mobile Intel 4 Family Series Chipset. I have 2 colleagues using the same model like mine... They never encountered any problem with scrolling/editing the XAML inside the VS2010 WF Designer...
That is a very big question for me... Probably the only way to explain is because my hardware has problem...
Has anyone of you facing the problem like I did?

HOLY COW!
FINALLY! SOLVED!
Do you know why??? If you are using HP laptop/PC, please do not install the HP ProtectTools Security Manager Suite!
This is my 3rd format with Windows 7 SP1 Enterprise x64 with default drivers installation.
The next thing I did is just installing VS2010 SP1 Ultimate x86 first.
Amazingly, XAML doesn't crash anymore!
So, I installed the driver from one to one and tested out with the VS2010 SP1.
AND FOUND THE CULPRIT!!! HP ProtectTools Security Manager Suite!
This issue has been bugging me 1 week time =.=' I never do my work whole week just to debug this issue!
It has nothing to do with Microsoft. But with VS2010SP1, it crashes with HP ProtectTools Security Manager Suite! I cannot use finger sign-in anymore :/ Sigh!

How to enable Snaplines in VS2010 Winforms?

HI
I just migrated from VS2008 to VS2010 Pro. When I use windows controls in forms in Visual Basic, the snap lines to other control does not appear to help to place the the controls with others. I checked the the option, all was checked and set to be enabled but still no guide lines!!
Any ideas?
Regards
I found a different solution. I had the same problem running Visual Studio 2010 professional on windows XP Professional (Service Pack 3). Updating my graphics driver was not possible (Intel 82945G express), so I tried lowering the color quality in the display settings from "Highest (32 bit)" to "Medium (16 bit)" and it worked!
Control Panel, Display, Settings Tab, Color Quality.
I found the problem after extensive searches on the internet. The Snaplines are visible after I updated the Video Card Driver for my machine!
I found the solution in this webpage:

VS2010 vs VS2008 SP1 on Windows 7

How stable is Visual Studio 2010 compared with VS2008 SP1 on Windows 7?
So far, VS2010 is only available as an early CTP (from last November) in a VPC, so it's not really a relevant comparison. It's for looking at, not using.
I cannot speak for VS2010 on Windows 7, but I have been using VS2008sp1 on Windows 7 as my primary development machine and it works great.
Considering I've never gotten VS2008 to crash on ANY OS, id say its hard to get any better than that. Granted I may not have put it through its full paces, but I have hit a wide range of abilities over the past year or so since moving to VS2008
EDIT:
Nevermind I just remembered crashing it when a former coworker insisted on using Source Safe, which ran off a laggy server, the lag alone brought VS2008 down.
